Type: Technical
Reported by: Daurnimator <quae@daurnimator.com>

Section: 3.1.1.2

Original Text
-------------
3.1.1.2.  Charset

   HTTP uses charset names to indicate or negotiate the character
   encoding scheme of a textual representation [RFC6365].  A charset is
   identified by a case-insensitive token.

     charset = token

   Charset names ought to be registered in the IANA "Character Sets"
   registry (<http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets>) according
   to the procedures defined in [RFC2978].

Corrected Text
--------------
3.1.1.2.  Charset

   HTTP uses charset names to indicate or negotiate the character
   encoding scheme of a textual representation [RFC6365].


     charset       = <mime-charset, see [RFC5987], Section 3.2.1>


   Charset names ought to be registered in the IANA "Character Sets"
   registry (<http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets>) according
   to the procedures defined in [RFC2978].

Notes
-----
The definition of charset from RFC 5987 is more strict and more correct.
