Xara declares sites to be:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=Windows-1252"/>
character encoded.

However testing sites via W3.orgs online mobile validator gives 3 medium warnings. The first regarding caching information I can remove by use of the .htaccess file but the other two medium warnings relate to character encoding and I have issues with these.

#1.
The HTTP Content-Type header does not specify a character encoding and no UTF-8 encoding or a non-UTF-8 is specified in the XML declaration
and
#2.
The HTTP Content-Type header does not specify a character encoding but it specifies an Internet media type starting with "text/" and there is no meta element with http-equiv attribute that specifies UTF-8 character encoding
I can remove #2 by placing
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
in the head section of the site but this would seem to conflict with Xara's declared character set.

I don't know of any way to remove #1

You can view the problem by placing http://www.parkeston.com/character_encoding/index.htm into w3.org's validator http://validator.w3.org/mobile/

Anyone have any enlightenment?
