--- Comment #6 from Anne van Kesteren <annevk at annevk.nl> ---
We're not going to support x-mac-hebrew on the web, however, there is a larger question here with what should happen with unknown encodings in XML.

It doesn't appear to be specified in the XML specification. Chromium and WebKit agree on treating them as a fatal error, but Gecko renders the document.

Minimal test:

data:text/xml,<?xml%20version="1.0"%20encoding="a"?><b/>

If at some point we decide to look at XML again maybe it's worth sorting this out.
