[[[
Second, representations whose Internet media types begin with "text/" 
are required, unless the charset parameter is specified, to be 
considered to be encoded in US-ASCII.
]]] - http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-webarch-20040816/#xml-media-types

Then add the reference to RFC2046.

[[[
4.1.2.  Charset Parameter

The default character set, which must be assumed in the absence of a 
charset parameter, is US-ASCII.
]]] - http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2046.txt



Another problem in this section:
	 RFC 3023 has not been linked to its reference. It's only happening a 
few times :) easy to fix.


[[[
RFC 3023 defines the Internet media types "application/xml" and 
"text/xml", and describes a convention whereby XML-based data formats 
use Internet media types with a "+xml" suffix, for example 
"image/svg+xml".
]]] - http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-webarch-20040816/#xml-media-types

which is not defined in the draft version too.
