I don't really like the idea of different decoding rules depending on where the
encoding is specified. I'd be happier if the change was made unconditionally.
Yes, this poses a theoretical risk for some XHR requests, but I'd prefer a
decision to employ an ugly workaround like this to be made based on knowledge
of real life severity.

With so many WebKit bug trackers around, it's better to use complete URLs like

It would be highly desirable to have a list including several sites that are
fixed with this patch. Changes like this tend to do both good and harm (and to
be incomplete), so having a list of sites that were fixed may help to make an
informed decision in the future.
