> * Bug 66055 is about Webkit's failure to obey UTF-8  as the [internal] default encoding (over the user chosen encoding).
> * Bug 66056 - this bug - is about Webkit's failure to let the accompanied external protocol take precedence (over the user chosen encoding).

OK. I see that I was not as systematic as I thought ... since this bug, bug 66056, points to one test file with an external encoding declaration as well as to one with an internal encoding declaration ...

As such, there might not be a reason to have two bugs, provided that all developers are in no doubt about the fact that XML files should default to UTF-8 whenever there is no other info.

So, I change my justification: The fact that XML files should default to UTF-8 whenever no other info is present, is a so important feature of XML that it warrants its own bug.
