Hi!

   The current XMLHttpRequest draft says that when a Document is being sent, 
"it MUST be serialized using the encoding given by 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).

- WBR, Alexey Proskuryakov
