Description Henri Sivonen 2012-10-19 08:07:50 UTC 
In order to
 * Make the fix for https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687859 compliant
 * Make scripts consistent with text/html
 * Make script decoding consistent with the Encoding Standard
…please make the BOM take precedence over HTTP charset for scripts.
Comment 1 Henri Sivonen 2012-10-19 12:25:11 UTC 
Current spec state comes from https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10656 which disagrees with Opera, Chrome and IE7.
Comment 2 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2012-10-19 20:21:00 UTC 
cc'ing bz since this was changed for Gecko on his request.
Comment 3 Boris Zbarsky 2012-11-26 04:51:27 UTC 
I don't really care about encoding issues anymore, in an effort to preserve what's left of my sanity.  ;)
Comment 4 contributor 2013-02-06 23:11:00 UTC 
Checked in as WHATWG revision r7701.
Check-in comment: Revert part of r5545 because bz changed his mind and this matches reality better. :-)
