Proposal:
The default of the charset parameter of text/xml and
application/xml is UTF-8 rather than US-ASCII (RFC 2045) or
ISO-8859-1 (RFC 2068 [HTTP/1.1]).
I believe that UTF-8 is a better default than ISO-8859-1 or US-ASCII.
But if HTTP people and MIME people does not accept such revision,
I would propose that the charset parameter of text/xml and application/xml
be mandatory. In other words, there will be no default.
