All, I received a question which is quite difficult to answer. I'd like to preface this with a few statements so as to avoid unrelated info: 1. I know that CNS11643 is a coded character set (CCS) from the Taiwan gov't standards body. 2. I know that a CCS is not the same thing as a character encoding scheme (CES). 3. I use the term "charset" to refer to the name of a particular combination of CCS and CES, for example, the charset EUC-TW. Given that, has anyone seen the name "CNS11643" being used for EUC-TW, say, in an HTML document meta tag, an HTTP header, or an email header? Since neither name is official, has anyone seen the name "EUC-TW" used in such situations? Does anyone know if various browser versions generate or understand these 2 names? How about mail clients? Is anyone actively working on registering the charset names EUC-TW or EUC-CN with IANA? Thanks for any information, Andrea Vine iPlanet i18n architect avine@eng.sun.com
