            Bug ID: 22997
           Summary: Better to have a clear statement if Event streams
                    doesn't encode as UTF-8 format.
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebAppsWG
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows NT
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Server-Sent Events (editor: Ian Hickson)

Steps to reproduce:
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like
Gecko) Chrome/28.0.1500.95 Safari/537.36

At present, the implementaion on Chrome and Opera browser is if event streams
doesn't encode as UTF-8, the test case jumps to onerror(). But on Firefox, it
only assert unreached instead of firing error.
Better to add a statement to let audience know whether firing error is the
expected behavior.
