Description

[Henri Sivonen (:hsivonen)]

IE, Gecko and WebKit ignore <meta charset> from document.write().

Need to figure out if/when <meta charset> should be ignored if 
 1) '>' is in document.write()
 2) the start of the token is in document.write()

Implement conclusion and upstream to HTML5 spec.

This was already mostly implemented as a side effect of speculative parsing. (If the terminating '>' character of the meta tag is document.written, the meta doesn't switch charset.)
