ISSUE-23 (web-forms-urlencoded-form-content-type-encoding): External conformance dependency in forms http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/ Raised by: Dan Connolly On product: Issue raised by Henri Sivonen on public-html: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2007Nov/0342.html > http://www.w3.org/TR/web-forms-2/#x-www-form-urlencoded > >> Authors must not specify an encoding other than UTF-8 or US-ASCII in >> the accept-charset attribute when the method used is get and the >> action indicates an HTTP resource. > > That conformance requirement is not checkable from the bytes of the > document plus the content-type header when the action is relative as > it would depend on the base URI in that case. Hence, the conformance > status could change depending on whether the author puts the document > on a server or uploads it to a validator. > > This point should probably be given consideration with other external > conformance dependency issues related to images and such.
