Details

(Whiteboard: [qf-]) 

We should remove nsIScriptableUnicodeConverter and have chrome scripts use the same facilities as Web scripts (TextDecoder/TextEncoder) instead of maintaining a parallel XPCOM universe of things.

This is still used in calendar, mail and mailnews.
Can you please describe what the replacement is?

Filed bug 1353285. (Covers only encode to UTF-8. Please don't do output in legacy encodings.)

Oops. This bug is for *input*. TextDecoder works for non-UTF-8 on input, so the same patterns that m-c adopts in bug 1353285 for UTF-8 only could be copied and pasted into c-c and extended for non-UTF-8.
