i hope to add the charset attribute to HTMLScriptElement,
on 2.12.1. The script element of The Web Applications 1.0
http://whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#the-script

now :(Working Draft ? 29 April 2005)

	interface HTMLScriptElement : HTMLElement {
		attribute DOMString text;
		attribute DOMString src;
		attribute DOMString type;
	}; 

i hope :

	interface HTMLScriptElement : HTMLElement {
		attribute DOMString text;
		attribute DOMString src;
		attribute DOMString type;
		attribute DOMString charset;
	};


Because the person who made .js file doesn't know whether 
the file is used with what charset all over the world. 

For instance, there is someone using the file written with utf-8 
on the page of shift_JIS and others. 


By the way,

DOM 1
http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-1/level-one-html.html#ID-81598695

	interface HTMLScriptElement : HTMLElement {
		attribute DOMString text;
		attribute DOMString htmlFor;
		attribute DOMString event;
		attribute DOMString charset;
		attribute boolean defer;
		attribute DOMString src;
		attribute DOMString type;
	};

HTML4.0
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/interact/scripts.html#h-18.2.1
