The wording regarding transcoding in the Character Model draft (http://www.w3.org/TR/charmod/) needs some revision. The definition of transcoding in section 3.3 notes that it does not fix up encoding declarations. Section 3.5 says that the interpretation of an entity as Unicode characters "must be equivalent to transcoding the entity to some Unicode encoding form and receiving it in that encoding form". If an XML processor behaved in this way, it would have to report an error for any non-Unicode entity, since it would be equivalent to receiving an entity with an incorrect encoding declaration. -- RichardReceived on Tuesday, 16 October 2001 09:37:18 GMT
