http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/StringEncoding has been updated to restrict the
supported encodings for encoding to UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-16BE.

I'm tempted to take it further to just UTF-8 and see if anyone complains.

I was going to suggest doing so. We've gone UTF-8-only for new features (workers, webvtt, appcache manifest, etc). The Encoding spec says "New content and formats must exclusively use the utf-8 encoding.". Is there a use case for utf-16/utf-16be?
