Having a look at the charset registry (http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets), I just rediscovered the following error, already reported by Olle Jarnefors in 1996! http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-charsets/1996JulDec/0000.html What is the right way to fix such problems once and for all? Regards, Martin.
