Iframe src html content

This chrome example extension:
http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/samples.html#597015d3bcce3da693b02314afd607bec4f55291
in feed.html creates html to assign to src attribute of iframe:
http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/chrome/common/extensions/docs/examples/extensions/news_a11y/feed.html?content-type=text/plain

 desc.src="data:text/html," + iframe\_src + itemDesc + "";  

But if You try this there is problem with encoding within IFRAME, at least for everything else than ASCII...

To sole this I recommend reading:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc848897(v=vs.85).aspx
Especially: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2397.txt

Finally, fix looks like this:

desc.src="data:text/html;**charset=\\"UTF-8\\"**," + iframe\_src + itemDesc + "";
