That is insufficient as it does not define what it means for these to be consistent, how implementations are required to determine whether this requirement has been met and what processors are required to do when these are determined to be inconsistent. Without a complete proposal it is most difficult to cite any reactions on this matter. I would generally support removing the often ignored complexity that the charset parameter introduces, with your proposal however, even if completely specified, I would worry that this increases the complexity rather than removing it in which case this would seem counter-productive.
