WF 2.0 says: "Implementations and documents must comply to the W3C Character Model specification. [CHARMOD]" WA 1.0 says no such thing. Is that intentional? Does C003 in Charmod outlaw bdo? (C013 is enforceable. So is C023.) (C001, C002, C054 and C076 are not machine-enforceable as far as I can tell.) I guess C034 should be taken to mean that text/html without a charset parameter or a meta is non-conforming. Right? I think C073 shouldn't render a document non-conforming. Would it be too annaying to emit a warning? Perhaps one warning per document rather than per character? I think authors wouldn't like warnings on C047 and C048. Moreover, I think it should be concluded that Charmod SHOULD violation don't make an (X)HTML5 document non-conforming. Correct? Charmod doesn't make a normative reference to Charmod Norm, which is a WD. Should I expect WA 1.0 to make a normative reference to Charmod Norm if Charmod Norm retains more or less its current substance? I am not particularly excited about checking the normalization of source text, but I do think it would be reasonable to check the parsed data. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen at iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
