[Zope-dev] chameleon.core removes the meta http-equiv="content-type" tag

[Dan Korostelev]

Oh, thanks that you reminded me of that :))

This looks like it migrated from zope.pagetemplate. That shameless
removal of content from my template annoyed me as well some time ago,
so at last I monkey-patched that method in zope.pagetemplate. I think,
we should remove that behaviour from both zope.pagetemplate and
chameleon.core, because it's developer' prerogative to decide what to
keep and what to remove from the rendered page, not the templating
system's. If noone objects, I'll fix it in zope.pagetemplate.
