Not only that but I remember to see html pages composed with latin1 and without the charset in metadata. So the warning has its uses. :-)
Well... doesn't HTTP default to ISO8859-1 unless the charset is otherwise specified?
In the vast majority of cases, HTTP isn't involved with HTML files packaged as %doc. And even for HTML over HTTP, it's not quite that simple, see eg. http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/charset.html section 5.2.2.
