A new version for the proposal has been released. Major changes include the removal of support for setting the encoding for a specific file, folder-level default encodings and encoding-change events. Part of the API proposed has been released as part of the 3.0 M7 milestone build. There is ongoing work on support from Runtime to determine the encoding for arbitrary input streams.
