Oh, right. I keep forgetting that the spec actually on the main W3C site has no bearing on reality... Is there a good reason it's there at all? :(
B) Otherwise insert a new charset parameter before all other parameters in the header string.Hmm, only B is not done currently. I suppose we could change that...
It's pretty much needed to work with the super-brokenness of PHP deployments. :( The same change needs to happen for Document.
We could of course go back to not setting the charset parameter at all unless the author already set it using setRequestHeader()...
I think this would be a very poor default behavior. We should really be sending charset information if we possibly can; I just think that having an explicit opt-out available might be worth it. I'll post more as I get more details here.
