I think neither decimal nor hexadecimal can be preferred over the other on polyglot grounds, so the publication shouldn't prefer one over the other. > A possible answer to your question is found in Sam's messages [1][2]. > He suggest only to allow UTF-8 as encoding of polyglot markup. That steps outside logical inferences from specs to determine what's polyglot. The logical inferences lead to a conclusion that polyglot documents can be constructed using UTF-8 and using UTF-16. There are other reasons to prefer UTF-8 over UTF-16, but polyglotness isn't one of them, so the WG shouldn't pretend that it is. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
