Where does it state that this or all fatal error(s) means that a
document is not well formed?
There is the requirement to report a fatal error to the application, and
the application must not continue normal processing, but that's
different from what you claim.

I changed the encoding declared in the meta element from iso-8859-1 to
iso-8859-15 and reloaded from cache, Opera's info panel information
didn't change, which suggests that the meta element is ignored.
