Use of not otherwise encoded non-textual binary data in 'http' URIs is vanishingly rare, and use of character encodings other than UTF-8 will only go down over time. So, the ideal situation would be that around 100% of all requests come with these two additional headers, telling servers something they practically already know. That does not make a lot of sense to me. And so far nobody has explained how clients would determine the encoding used in addresses, outside a narrowly confined area. I think we would be better served with some "best practise" form of document instead of the proposed headers. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
