http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10854 Summary: willful violation of RFC2046 may be an exaggeration Product: HTML WG Version: unspecified Platform: PC URL: http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#writing-cac he-manifests OS/Version: Windows NT Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: HTML5 spec (editor: Ian Hickson) AssignedTo: ian@hixie.ch ReportedBy: julian.reschke@gmx.de QAContact: public-html-bugzilla@w3.org CC: mike@w3.org, public-html-wg-issue-tracking@w3.org, public-html@w3.org <http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#writing-cache-manifests>: "Note: This is a willful violation of two aspects of RFC 2046, which requires all text/* types to support an open-ended set of character encodings and only allows CRLF line breaks. These requirements, however, are outdated; UTF-8 is now widely used, such that supporting other encodings is no longer necessary, and use of CR, LF, and CRLF line breaks is commonly supported and indeed sometimes CRLF is not supported by text editors. [RFC2046]" But in <http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/rfc2046.html#rfc.section.4.1.2.p.4>: "The specification for any future subtypes of "text" must specify whether or not they will also utilize a "charset" parameter, and may possibly restrict its values as well. For other subtypes of "text" than "text/plain", the semantics of the "charset" parameter should be defined to be identical to those specified here for "text/plain", i.e., the body consists entirely of characters in the given charset. In particular, definers of future "text" subtypes should pay close attention to the implications of multioctet character sets for their subtype definitions." So I don't see a conflict with respect to the charset parameter. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
