Disregarding charset from HTTP headers is just a weird special case

a few text resource types. If we were going to deprecate HTML, XML
and
CSS, but keep appcache manifest going forward, it could maybe make
sense.
What's the advantage of introducing all the pain and suffering that
encodings will inevitably bring with them to the cache manifest
format?
Just what I said before - the ability to use the same code path for
decoding manifests as for decoding other types of resources. It's a
minor benefit, admittedly, but it's a potential issue at all stages -
from generating content to checking it with automated tools to
consuming it.
For authors and admins, it may be a nuisance to maintain an UTF-8 text
file if the rest of the site is in a different encoding.
