Section 3.2 "...one-to-one mapping from characters to bytes; this is the case, for instance, for US-ASCII and ISO 8859-1." Change ISO 8859-1 to ISO-8859-1. Why this change is necessary: ISO 8859-1 is a common citation for the character encoding standard ISO/IEC 8859-1, and if referencing a particular version you might say ISO/IEC 8859-1:1998, for example. But when you are talking about the mapping of characters to bit sequences, you are talking about an encoding scheme, which for Internet use is defined by the IANA's list at http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/character-sets. I would cite these mappings using the IANA's values, so in this case the choice is one of: ISO_8859-1:1987, iso-ir-100, ISO_8859-1, ISO-8859-1, latin1, l1, IBM819, CP819, or csISOLatin1. There are 2 other references to ISO-8859-1 in the document; they don't need to be changed. - Mike ____________________________________________________________________ Mike J.
