http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=6858 --- Comment #7 from Ian 'Hixie' Hickson <ian@hixie.ch> 2009-06-29 10:43:50 --- The ASCII-compatible encoding concept exists for two reasons; first, to prevent authors from trying to declare the encoding using the <meta charset> feature in the cases where the encoding detection algorithm wouldn't ever find the charset (e.g. using <meta charset> alone in a UTF-16 file, with no BOM and no external charset declaration), and second, to restrict the character encodings that can be used in form submission to those that aren't incompatible with opaquely treating a URL as ASCII with some unknown bytes. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
