Is the mapping currently in the spec a problem? I'm not aware of this being a practical problem on the Web. I just happened to notice this when I tried to benchmark encoding_rs vs. glibc. On the high level, I'm reluctant to change anything regarding Big5 in the spec without evidence of breakage exhibited on the Web. (That is, abstract inconsistency with a particular converter library isn't in itself a reason to change the spec.) -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
