------- Comment #2 from ap at webkit.org  2008-01-30 01:45 PDT -------
We match Firefox here, and changing this may be a compatibility problem.

Also, I am not convinced that the XML spec has any say in how text decoding
should work - it is a layering violation for it to impose any restrictions on
UTF-8, for example. What if the XML spec imposed restrictions on Ethernet MTU,
for example?

This restriction was probably reasonable when XML 1.0 was first published,
because the Unicode standard didn't deal with these issues well, but now it
does.

Could having this test in Acid3 be reconsidered?
