Now, wait a second here.

Now there is Martin Duerst from W3.org telling us that we must 
indeed include a "charset" parameter with our foo/bar+xml
MIME transport types.

Then there is Chris Lilley of the same W3.org telling us *repeatedly*
to remove it:

Now, I've been trusting Chris up til now, simply because he
represents W3.org.

You are of course welcome to run your internal disputes on the
issue on these lists if you like, but when you're already at the
same organizational body, could you *PLEASE* book an internal meeting
and try to formulate a consensus from the W3.org side on how you
think this thing should be handled? After all, you invented XML.
