For V8 at least, the text doesn't have to be ISO-8859-1. "String encoded using a one-byte encoding" is perhaps more accurate.

@TimothyGu huh? V8 does interpret that string as ISO-8859-1. We do use the …OneByte… methods in core for that encoding, and that’s what the V8 docs say (which, granted, I wrote, but also did pass review. 😄).
