Re: [Encoding] false statement

Hi,

I agree with Larry.

No document that the W3C will ever publish could directly obsolete
the IANA Character Sets registry.

And I find the (blurry) distinction between web applications and non-web
applications disturbing (meandering scope).

There are *thousands* of specs from more than a hundred standards
development organizations that have normative references to the IANA
Character Sets Registry.  None of those are ever likely to be updated
to point instead to this W3C spec.

Huh?

Cheers,
- Ira
