<DIV>HTML5 allows for <meta charset> instead of the longer version.
Charset should remain a requirement, but it is up to the developer to chose
their doctype and which tag they wish to use. No different than requiring a
doctype but not mandating which one, as long as it is syntactically
correct.</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
