Encoding declaration state

Encoding declaration state = the meta element having the "content-type" as value of the http-equiv attribute and a valid value of the content attribute (content attribute present also):
e.g. http-equiv in Encoding declaration state:
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text⁄html; charset=utf-8">

Examples: meta parents
