Ian, darn. missed one: # 5.4. application/x-www-form+xml: XML submission # The message entity is an XML 1.1 document, encoded as UTF-8, [...] I think that requiring the character encoding to be UTF-8 conflicts with the sentiment expressed by the TAG in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-i18n-comments/2002Jun/0000.html (excerpted) "We believe that specifications SHOULD NOT add rules for character encoding beyond what is provided in XML. They MUST NOT restrict character sets beyond what XML allows. In other words, the TAG disagrees [that] a specification should mandate a unique encoding. We believe a specification must not mandate a single encoding to the exclusion of UTF8/16." Regards, Malcolm
