Hello TC39, et al, The I18N WG has tasked me [1] with asking you to consider adding an encoding declaration to the definition of ECMAScript similar to the one defined in CSS [2]. Currently, the encoding of a script file is implied by the charset parameter of the script tag in HTML or is somehow inferred from the script itself. Almost all file formats support encoding declaration. Supporting a similar mechanism in ECMAScript will help ensure proper processing of script files containing non-ASCII data. Please consider adding an encoding declaration. Regards (for I18N), Addison [1] http://www.w3.org/2010/04/28-core-minutes.html#action04 [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html#charset Addison Phillips Globalization Architect (Lab126) Chair (W3C I18N, IETF IRI WGs) Internationalization is not a feature. It is an architecture.
