[...] > Yet conforming 1.1 servers can simply assume >(wrongly) that all 1.0 clients support 8859-1 (#2 above), resulting in bad >interoperability. 1.1 servers can _not_ assume that all 1.0 clients support 8859-1. The #2 above is the assumption for what all 1.1 clients accept. When trying to interoperate with a 1.0 client, a 1.1 server should use the 1.0 spec. There is nothing in the 1.0 spec which allows you to assume that all 1.0 clients support a particular character set. Koen.
