I have changed variant B) in step 1) of section 3.1 from
If the IRI is in some digital representation
(e.g. an octet stream) in some non-Unicode encoding:
Convert the IRI to a sequence of characters from the UCS
normalized according to NFC.
to
If the IRI is in some digital representation
(e.g. an octet stream) in some *known* non-Unicode encoding:
Convert the IRI to a sequence of characters from the UCS
normalized according to NFC.
(emphasis only here).
Do you think that this helps, or do you think that other changes
are needed?
Regards, Martin.
