Yep... I think it's time for a w3.org quote.

...conforming user agents must observe the following priorities when determining a document's character encoding (from highest priority to lowest):
- An HTTP "charset" parameter in a "Content-Type" field.
- A META declaration with "http-equiv" set to "Content-Type" and a value set for "charset".
- The charset attribute set on an element that designates an external resource.
