Has there been any discussion on this since
http://www.khronos.org/webgl/public-mailing-list/archives/1104/msg00043.html
Right now, to extract UTF8 text from a ArrayBuffer, you have to do the
decoding in JS, which is slow and error prone.
>From the linked discussion, there was a suggestion that arbitrary
character sets would be required. However, that could require a lot
of effort on the implementors and be hard to agree on what character
sets should be supported -- I would suggest just supporting
UTF8/UTF16LE/UTF16BE initially as they require no tables to implement,
and maybe if there is interest/demonstrated need more could be added
later.
