Details

See https://github.com/w3c/web-platform-tests/pull/4935. It seems like we ignore UTF-16 BOMs for text/plain and decode as UTF-8 instead. That's wrong.

The EOF issue decoders also bites us here.
XMLHttpRequest/send-receive-utf16.htm might also be affected.
Henri, is this something you could take?

Duplicate of bug 1070763. Waiting for encoding_rs to land, because this would be annoying to fix without the facilities provided by encoding_rs (in particular, streaming BOM sniffing baked into the decoders themselves).
