Under http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-html-encoding-declarations-new#httphead it now reads: »» Use HTTP headers if it makes sense, «« This might sound as if one had a choise to use or not to use a _HTTP header_. (When transmitting ressources over HTTP, there’s always a HTTP header.) Either: Use HTTP headers _for encoding declaration_ if it makes sense, Or: Use _encoding declarations in_ HTTP headers if it makes sense, Under http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-html-encoding-declarations-new#utf16 it says: »» Furthermore, if your page is encoded as UTF-16, do not declare your file to be "UTF-16BE" or "UTF-16LE", use "UTF-16" only. «« Is it clear enough that this paragraph relates to declarations in the HTTP header, not in meta declarations? Even though the previous paragraph mentioned not to use meta declarations for UTF-16, it could be made clearer. »» Choosing & applying a character encoding «« Set article title in italics, i.e. use the cite element. Same for: »» Polyglot Markup: A robust profile of the HTML5 vocabulary «« and: »» Encoding «« (in: The new Encoding specification) Gunnar
