Proposed patch

I confirm the same behaviour. Unfortunately, for speakers of languages with
non-latin alphabets, this can be a bit of a problem, since AJAX replies are now
by default rendered using iso8859-1, ending up completely jammed on screen.

UTF-8 or UTF-16 marked by BOM are in general the standard encodings for XML
documents, when no explicit encoding specification is present. Apart from that,
the W3C specification of XML 1.0 ( http://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#charencoding)
mandates that UTF-16 encoded XML documents be always marked with a BOM, whereas
UTF-8 may optionally have a BOM.  IMHO it should default to UTF-8, since this
is the expected behaviour by most web applications. Since
khtml::Decoder::decode always looks for a BOM at the beginning of the stream,
setting the default encoding of XMLHttpRequest replies to UTF-8 guarantees that
it will always work with UTF-8, UTF-8 w/ BOM and UTF-16 w/ BOM.

I'm not familiar with the internals of KDE, but the following patch fixes the
issue for me. Still i'm not sure about the use of the Decoder::DefaultEncoding
constant or whether something else should be used instead.

Cheers,
Apollon
