Add <meta> tag before any other tag in page

Good morning,
We need to force IE's compatibility mode by adding a X-UA-Compatible meta tag in the <head> section of the HTML page. In particular, we should add:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE8" />

MS specs state that this tag must appear in the <head> section BEFORE any other element (except for the <title> tag and any other <meta> elements).

You can add meta tags in Kentico by modifying the master page's header section, but these tags are rendered under the <link> tag referring to the default CSS for the website, which is no good.
Is there any way to insert meta tags at the beginning of the <head> section without having to write a custom ascx webpart?

There is a literal with the id tags, which is used to render the tags in all the pages: <asp:Literal runat="server" ID="tags" EnableViewState="false" /> Best regards, Boris Pocatko
