In which case we really need to define what "needed for web compatibility" means. The CP affects handling of character set names that contain either a backslash or quite characters. No registered character set does contain these. That's why I think this is an edge case, and there's no requirement to claim that breaking the base spec is needed here. Best regards, Julian
