User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312

Some info are missing.
1- a note that says that the "Meta: " section lists the content of the meta tags
of the page. That's obvious but it's better to write it ;-)
2- more details about the "Encoding" info. 
First, writing that it's the HTTP header encoding that is displayed there. The
page encoding set by the meta tag (<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" charset= >)
is displayed in the "Meta: " section. 
Then write that the meta tag overrides the HTTP header if they are conflicting. 
The encoding being displayed if no encoding is set on the page is the one
selected by the user (View - Character coding) or the one decided by the browser
when the "auto detect" is ON.

The Help file clearly reads

  The bottom portion displays the metatags specified by the page. Metatags
provide information
  about the type of content displayed by a page, such as a general description
of the page,
  keywords for search engines, copyright information, and so on.

I checked and this is (no longer?) true. Encoding is the current encoding used.
To check, change the encoding of this page and see Page Info.
