Let's hav some backward compatibility. I don't really know why anyone supports 16bit fonts like UTF-8: Mixed language documents just aren't that common and 8bit fonts in PostScript or PDF will do the same thing. The validator seems to be insisting that I receive UTF-8, and Lynx doesn't support it (can't support it without terminal software), so it asks me to download documents from the validator (AltaVista's dijital translator is just as arrogant). I hav iso-8859-1 selected in Lynx as my preferred character set (font). The validator doesn't ask for that information before delivering text/html;charset=utf-8. Perhaps a button on the validator's form should allow you to request "ISO Latin One" or *the server should ask*. How about we leave slack backward compatibility for Mr. Gates?Received on Monday, 19 March 2001 01:29:46 GMT
