ok, its a real minor "bug", but about:blank is not a Valid HTML File. it lacks
something like this
<meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="content-type">
(or UTF-8)
Its nothing to be worried, but since we want people to use HTML Standards it
should be fixed

Actually, putting about:blank in standards mode would break sites all over
(think places that document.write into an empty frame).
Furthermore, the <meta> tag is not at all required to be a valid HTML file. I'm
not sure why you think it is.
Marking invalid.

That just means that your server is not sending a proper charset param in the
HTTP header. In that case, the validator can't tell the encoding of your markup
without either you telling it explicitly or the markup having a meta tag.
Since about:blank is never sent over HTTP and hence its encoding is never in
question, this is a non-issue for about:blank.
