Perhaps you have a problem with your DTD? It looks to me as if Visual

There is no </meta> tag. It's an empty tag.

I think that Larry Wall's rules about Perl apply here (slightly modified):
#1
[W3C] is always by definition right about how [HTML] should behave. This
means [it] has final veto power [...].
#2
[W3C] is allowed to change [its] mind about any matter at a later date,
regardless of whether [it] previously invoked Rule 1.
