https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=15076 Summary: Make UAs use UTF-8 as fallback encoding if the page has a HTML5 doctype Product: HTML WG Version: unspecified Platform: PC URL: http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/parsing#encoding-sniffing -algorithm OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: HTML5 spec (editor: Ian Hickson) AssignedTo: ian@hixie.ch ReportedBy: xn--mlform-iua@xn--mlform-iua.no QAContact: public-html-bugzilla@w3.org CC: mike@w3.org, public-html-wg-issue-tracking@w3.org, public-html@w3.org Quoting Kornel Lesiński: > Could <!DOCTYPE html> be an opt-in to default UTF-8 encoding? > > It would be nice to minimize number of declarations a page needs to include. http://lists.whatwg.org/htdig.cgi/whatwg-whatwg.org/2011-December/034065.html Such a UA behaviour would, presumably, involve a formalizing a new step in the encoding sniffing algorithm, between the current step 5 and step 6. In essence, the UA would default to UTF-8 if the other meta data fails - see: http://lists.whatwg.org/htdig.cgi/whatwg-whatwg.org/2011-December/034069.html Presumably, UAs would need to change before the spec could officially allow authors to rely on the DOCTYPE. -- Configure bugmail: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.Received on Tuesday, 6 December 2011 05:35:26 UTC
