Bug Description

I have a docs that looks like this
``
!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:s="http://dev.xxx.com/ns/rest"><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ASCII" /><title> - XXX</title><style>```

As you see there is meta data in the doc.
I se the html cleaner such that meta is False and expects the meta section will be untouched.
```cleaner = Cleaner(scripts=True, page_structure=False, meta=False, javascript=True, links=False, forms=False, processing_instructions=False, safe_attrs_only=False)
   cleanHtml = cleaner.clean_html(html)
```
But, the following is the result of cleanHtml,

```<html xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:s="http://dev.splunk.com/ns/rest"><head><title> - XXX</title><style>
```

Also, is there. way to retain the ```!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">``` portion?
