Before the section on charset detection in Section 2, there should be
a health warning stating something like:
--
For interoperability, the use of a Unicode encoding, particularly
UTF-8, is RECOMMENDED. Non-Unicode encodings are difficult to detect
and effectively limit the range of character data that can be
transmitted reliably.

This seems like good advice for an author tutorial. As you can tell, the
XMLHttpRequest specification is not really intended for authors. Having
said that, I should probably remove the last mentioning of "authors" out
of the specification.
I know that the spec isn't intended for authors. However: authors do
read these specifications. I don't think including a health warning here
would be unnecessarily burdensome: our working group would, I believe,
prefer it to be included.
Thanks,
Addison
