[whatwg] charset attribute of HTMLScriptElement

[Olav Junker Kjær]

Wouldn't it be safer to declare the encoding in the js file itself?
It could be in a magic comment at the start of the document:
//@charset("utf8")
Not very elegant, but less error prone than to specify the encoding 
everywhere the file is included.
