If you have any chance of avoiding such meta tags, do so. Send the
header it "replaces".

What would you think of

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-32"> ?

Sending a meta tag describing the encoding within the encoded page is
like locking the key to a safe inside it.
What's even worse, your server may send a "latin-1" header while your
code could have an "utf-8" meta tag. Which of the two would be the right
one?
