I'm fine with always serializing to UTF-8 if that's what browsers do. One less character encoding issue for authors to deal with. :-)

There's one difference between WebKit and Firefox in this regard, however. WebKit serializes the document without any XML declaration,
so encoding as
UTF-8 is only natural. However, Firefox includes a declaration, with an
encoding that doesn't match the actual one - which looks like a bug to me.

Yeah, sounds like it. My suggestion would be to require that the XML Declaration be dropped. Or, if present, is set to UTF-8 (which is the encoding anyway).



Perhaps, the requrement could be that the document should be encoded to be valid - i.e. if an XML declaration is present, it should match
the actual encoding?

That's what the specification currently says. :-) What do you want?
