I realize this discussion was well over a year ago. I imagine Gecko has
meanwhile dealt with the compatibility issues so we can probably keep it
in the specification if you can confirm that. (And add it to
XMLHttpRequest Level 2 where it is not yet included.)
Could you please also comment on the text in
http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/XMLHttpRequest/#the-send-method
to see if what it says now regarding the Content-Type header and charset
parameter is correct?
Something I would like to change is to remove the dependency on
document.inputEncoding and simply always encode documents as UTF-8 too.
Can we do that? This would be better for off-the-shelf XML parsers on the
server which might only be able to deal with UTF-8 and UTF-16. Especially
in the cross-origin scenario.
