http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=13392 --- Comment #6 from Leif Halvard Silli <xn--mlform-iua@xn--mlform-iua.no> 2011-07-28 11:59:27 UTC --- Unless I misremember, Polyglot Markup already points to a I18N text that reccommends a visible enc decl. So that issue should be covered. To not include the BOM means that a HTTP charset from the server can override the (undeclared) UTF-8 encoding without there being a fatal error in the XML parser. That's a bad thing. But when BOM is present, this mislabeled HTTP charset header can be discovered both in XML parsers (which should get fatal error) and in HTML5 parsers (which should land in quirksmode). That some tools do not handle BOM properly, is a problem with those tools. Without more explatation, I fail to see that it is relevant. -- 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.
