XHTML Strict error

I'm converting my website from HTML to XHTML 1.0 Strict. Upon validation I get yelled at by W3.org validator for the error below.

Code:

Line 6, column 73:  character data is not allowed here  
  ...e" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

The red arrow points to the closing bracket.

This is line 6

Code:

 6: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

Any ideas?

I'm guessing it doesn't like the semi-colon?

Another point, why are you using strict.

Use transitional unless there you have a good reason. I mean you have less functionality in strict!

I have a lot of functionality in strict, in fact I have more. I've since found my error and it had to do with a line above the line I mentioned. I guess it was erroring out on that line. Strict uses more CSS and is consistent with XHTML 1.1. Why use an old standard like transitional? It's just delaying having to redo your site. I've accomplished everything in Strict that I needed to in Transitional and HTML 4.1.
