Are you dissatisfied with the way XML is specified? XML does not allow you to override the encoding at will. For instance, when there is no encoding info (BOM, XML declaration, XML encoding declaration, HTTP) associtated with an XML file, then the file MUST be UTF-8 encoded. Those XML parsers that are serious about implementing XML thus do not permit that you override the encoding of an UTF-8 encoded XML document, because, to do so, would be a fatal error. It is great if HTML gets semi-aligned with XML so that, at least when the BOM is used, it gets impossible to override the DOM. That way, we decrease the need for users to "fix" encoding configuration problems. -- Configure bugmail: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
