It turned out that there is already some code (Dashboard widgets) that

So you're saying that for responseText you do indeed adhere to the
text/html rules?
So, it seems that we need to decode text/html according to its normal
rules. This can be made a quirk for Dashboard, but since it makes
long-term sense for HTML5, maybe it is a good behavior to specify.
For most browsers, it would be a change in behavior, so I guess the
biggest question is what other browser makers think about it.
Yeah. Opera does this for text/css as well, for what it's worth.
