Jeremy -

I can confirm positively that I'm running the same tests in FF 3.5/3.6, IE8 and
Safari 4 Win & Mac and those browsers are succeeding in my tests. I haven't
altered the quota in any of them, although I do know for a fact that IE8 allows
a 10MB / domain quota.

This leads me to believe that at least FF uses UTF-8 encoding. Not sure about
IE8, again because of their 10MB quota, they could be storing things in
something other than UTF-8 and my tests would still pass.

It's curious that Safari 4 passes the test, being a Webkit-based browser. As I
noted in the initial report, Webkit/Mac 51280 does not, which led me to think
it was a regression of some sort.

Given all of this, I would guess that maybe specifying UTF-8 in the spec would
be the best route. In the meantime, I'll pop up on webkit-dev and make my case
there for UTF-8 encoding, referencing this bug.

Thanks again!

Cheers,

- Bill
