90     <p>While parsing a document in a character encoding,
91     a character encoding declaration which declares the character
92     encoding of the document as another character encoding is found.
93     The occurence of this warning itself does not make the document
94     non‐conforming. However, the failure of the first attempt to
95     to detect the character encoding might be the result of non‐conformance
96     of the document.</p>

98     <p>The document will be reparsed from the beginning. Some error
99     or warning might be reported again.</p>

103     <li>Specify <code>charset</code> parameter in the <code>Content-Type</code>
104     field in the <abbr>HTTP</abbr> header, as:
105     <pre class="HTTP example">
106     <code>Content-Type: text/html; charset=&quot;<var>charset-name</var>&quot;</code></pre></li>
107     <li>Put the character encoding declaration
108     (<code class="html example">&lt;meta charset=&quot;<var>charset-name</var>&quot;&gt;</code>)
