 Some plugins are using wp_enqueue_script  to display inline javascript
 without src. the output of those scripts should be like this:


 {{{
 <script type="text/javascript">
 custom javascript
 </script>
 }}}


 but it adds the extra charset="utf-8" attribute which is not valid in
 html5 without a src.


 {{{
 <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
 custom javascript
 </script>
 }}}

 wp_enqueue_script should check whether the called script has a src, if
 not, then dont add the charset attribute. Imo this should be treated
 seriously as most of the themes are now html5. and the html5 validity
 status of this issue is "Error", not a "Notice".

 Thanks
