No, it's almost totally bogus. Use the HTTP headers, not the
http-equiv <meta> in the <head>.
The only good thing to do with putting them in the head instead of the
headers is if you're working with web documents as files a lot and you
have funny character encodings that need a non-default encoding. This
is obscure as both something to want to do, and also as a combination
of characters and encodings.
As to text/html vs. application/xml-stuff, then that's our regularly
scheduled programming. Every night at 6:30, just between the Simpsons
and Trek re-runs.
