The default charset is UTF-8 for all XHR posts, so I don't think any action is required.

The default contentType of jquery doesn't mention the default charset.
In Firefox, the contentType is automatically updated with "''application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8''", or in Google Chrome, the jquery default contentType is used, so "''application/x-www-form-urlencoded''" (look at the contentType in the request headers).
Although the default charset is UTF-8 for all XHR posts, why don't specify it to be cross-browser ?

Sorry, you could test it here : http://jsfiddle.net/vinzweb/H2LdJ/5/
If you change the "Charset encoding" of your browser in ISO-8859-1, you don't see the charset used in the contentType. So you have to refer to the field "X-Requested-With" (XMLHttpRequest) to be sure you are in UTF-8.

This should be fixed as I experienced real problems with the Chrome browser and a Tomcat server that uses ISO-8859-1 by default when the charset is not explicitly specified.
I'll open a new ticket pointing to this one since I can't reopen it here and no actual answer was given to why this was rejected.

Do you have a test case where this change is required? Also, are you asking that jQuery be changed to use that as the default content type?
