Sorry I snipped the wrong one. So...

    - Appendix C 9 of the XHTML-1.0 spec:
       http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#C_9

However, as said this section, the meta http-equiv statement is
optional (e.g. if the web server provides the correct headers).

That's why the XSLT spec only says "should" (for HTML output),
as noted by Mike.
