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.
