Yes, I was aware of this activity.

I believe that the RFCs for XML media type should faithfully follow MIME 
and HTTP/1.1.  When the first RFC for XML media types was created, I was
told that neither MIME RFCs nor HTTP/1.1 can be changed here.  Ten years
have passed since then.  I think that facts (ideally based on statistics 
of correct/incorrect charset) should be documented first and then a
required change (if any) should be introduced.

Cheers,
