The current XMLHttpRequest draft says that when a Document is being

data.xmlEncoding, if specified and supported, or UTF-8 otherwise."
However, I'm not seeing this behavior in Firefox 2 - it seems to always
encode sent documents as UTF-8. Is this something that has been already
discussed, and decided in favor of the new behavior? I'm feeling
somewhat reluctant to break Firefox compatibility (WebKit didn't support
xmlEncoding before, and thus also encoded documents as UTF-8).
I'm fine with always serializing to UTF-8 if that's what browsers do. One
less character encoding issue for authors to deal with. :-)
