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,
