Martin,
In [1], you submitted the following comments on the Last Call Working
Draft of XSLT 2.0 and XQuery 1.0 Serialization on behalf of the I18N
Working Group:
<<
[7] Section 3, 'encoding': Here or for each individual output method,
something should be said about the BOM. We think it should be
the following:
- XML/XHTML: UTF-16: required; UTF-8: may be used.
- HTML/text: UTF-16: recommended; UTF-8: may be used.
[8] Section 3, 'encoding': This should say that for UTF-16,
endianness implementation-dependent (or implementation-defined)
>>
Thanks to you and the I18N Working Group for these comments.
The XSL and XML Query Working Groups discussed the comments, and
decided to add a byte-order-mark parameter to the Serialization
specification to control whether a Byte Order Mark is written. The actual
byte order used is implementation-dependent. If the concept of a Byte
Order Mark does not make sense for the particular encoding selected, the
byte-order-mark parameter is ignored.
May I ask you to confirm that this response is acceptable to the
working group?
Thanks,
Henry [On behalf of the XSL and XML Query Working Groups]
