title: Choosing a W3C valid DOCTYPE and charset combination?
body: <p>I have a homepage with the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;DOCTYPE html&gt;
  
  &lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"&gt; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My choice of the DOCTYPE "html" is based on a recommendation for html pages using jQuery.
  My choice  of charset=utf=8 is based on a recommendation to make my pages readable on most browsers. But these choices may be wrong.</p>
  
  <p>When I run this page thru the W3C HTML validator, I get messages you see below. Any way I can eliminate the 2 errors?</p>
  
  <h2>! Using experimental feature: HTML5 Conformance Checker.</h2>
