stripped from the input. It should.


I am just going to treat this as an editorial oversight and fix it in the  
editor's draft without opening a bug for it as I did with the larger  
errors. I hope that is okay.




I do note that failing to discriminate between types that allow for
a Unicode signature and types that do not creates interoperability
problems. application/json for instance prohibits using it, and as
a consequence many parsers reject it, whereas using it would appear
to work fine in AJAX setups.


There are similar such issues already, indeed.
