I18N-ISSUE-379 (BUG23646): "us-ascii" should not be an alias for "windows-1252" [encoding] http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/379 Raised by: Addison Phillips On product: encoding https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=23646 This issue tracks the bug listed above and was created as part of the WG LC process. The bug was created prior to the WG LC. --- http://encoding.spec.whatwg.org/ lists US-ASCII and equivalents (e.g., ASCII) as an alias for "windows-1252". This isn't correct, as Windows 1252 has several code points above 127 that are not ASCII characters. US-ASCII should be kept distinct from Windows 1252, just as it should be kept distinct from Latin-1 and all the other encodings that are extensions of US-ASCII.
