Actually the W3C specifies exactly the opposite. From
<http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/charset.html>:
| To sum up, conforming user agents must observe the following priorities when
| determining a document's character encoding (from highest priority to
| lowest):
| 1. An HTTP "charset" parameter in a "Content-Type" field.
| 2. A META declaration with "http-equiv" set to "Content-Type" and a
| value set for "charset".
| 3. The charset attribute set on an element that designates an external
| resource.
