Hi,

Wrt to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=764234 and API description http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/StringEncoding section "Note to Implementers", "Some encode/decode algorithms require adjusting thecode point pointer  orbyte pointer  by a negative amount.", " N is defined by the specific encoding algorithm."

Where can I find the definition of 'N' for the specific encoding algorithm? I can't seem to find it at http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/encoding/raw-file/tip/Overview.html#encodings.

Thanks,

-Bonnie.
