Does the OS/2 port need it for interfacing with the system APIs? If the OS/2 port needs it for interfacing with the system APIs, can we stop exposing the encoding to the Web and can we stop building the IBM864 encoder/decoder on non-OS/2 platforms? I think it's a bad idea to vary the supported set of Web-exposed encodings by operating system. IIRC, some old Mac encodings that are still relevant for dealing with legacy fonts were hidden from Web content and UTF-7 was made mail-only. If OS/2 doesn't need it for system APIs, can we just remove the IBM864 support altogether. Is the AIX port still relevant? I thought 3.6 was the last version ported to AIX. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen at iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
