Following my tweaks I'm not aware of any remaining regressions from
this patch, unless you want to consider the change of default
encoding to be itself a regression (thus if you choose to
incorporate it into the package, it would probably merit mentioning
in NEWS.Debian at a minimum). Regardless, I'm sure you'll agree that
if an application is only going to support one encoding, these days
it would be better to support only the standard universal encoding
than only a particular region-specific encoding. This patch does add
somewhat more flexible encoding/decoding facilities, however, and
could fairly easily pave the way for a subsequent patch allowing a
different encoding to be set via the command line, or maybe even on
the fly/autodetected.

Hopefully he's okay and just taking a break! In the meantime, this
is the most functional, lightweight/javascript-only, free terminal
emulator I've been able to find which tunnels all I/O over an
HTTP(S) connection in a cross-browser-supported manner, so it would
be nice to keep it in good shape in his absence. Now that I've had a
chance to stare at the code for a while, I'll see if I can find time
to take a stab at a proper fix for bug 528938/CVE-2009-1629 as well.
