KCodings are obsolete and should be completely removed. So I don’t think  
this needs to be fixed.

Besides Encoding.UTF8 is not a UTF8 singleton. You can create multiple  
different UTF8Encoding instances. We should compare encoding CodePage  
but on Silverlight that property is not availabl, so we need to compare  
encoding name.

Sweet - that works for me :).

Have you had a chance to take a look at my other commit (regarding issue
