The <meta charset="utf-8"/> tag chokes EPUB validators
Subject says it all. It's easy enough to remove, but replacing it with the following tag would convey the same info and make Epubcheck happy:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
I've started converting my Scrivener projects to use MultiMarkdown, because the HTML is so much cleaner. I haven't decided whether to use MMD directly, and import the HTML into a skeleton project in Sigil, or use Pandoc to directly generate the EPUB. Both methods require some finishing touches, but both only need a matter of minutes to produce excellent results.

I'll look into this for MMD-6:

Actually, just did quick google check to refresh my memory, and the way you suggest is the out of date way. The way MMD currently uses is the correct/current way, as I understand it.

Sounds right, but the EPUB spec hasn't caught up yet. Is it possible to
have a switch to change the output? I'll take a swing at coding it myself
if you want.

I would recommend this:
1. Modifying MMD-5 for the change would be easy -- just change the
current string to the string you desire.
2. I am going to revisit EPUB more generally in MMD-6. Depending on
what I can find in regards to zip libraries, etc., I *might* build it in
to MMD itself. The current approach relies on external tools (e.g.
<https://github.com/fletcher/MMD-ePub>)
