Good comments There are four files in the page Classic cases: http://www.w3.org/International/tests/test-utf8-signature/withoutbom- withcharset.html http://www.w3.org/International/tests/test-utf8-signature/withoutbom- nocharset.html These for really the BOM testing http://www.w3.org/International/tests/test-utf8-signature/withbom- withcharset.html http://www.w3.org/International/tests/test-utf8-signature/withbom- nocharset.html I think to make it easier, it is better to limit the test to with BOM, with Charset http://www.w3.org/International/tests/test-utf8-signature/withbom- withcharset.html > My browser for instance passes the basi test but not the extended, > which seems to mean that the BOM is not harmful to it, but it's not > used either. Which means that the browser is working well. no. Because HTTP has precedence. The pages served as US-ASCII MUST fail. > If we are to draw conclusions from this testing, we might as well > see whether the BOM breaks implementations AND whether it is used > at all. Shall we give the expected results ? This is the normal result in an HTTP environment. Passed - without BOM with charset (served as utf-8) Failed - without BOM without charset (served as us-ascii) Passed - with BOM with charset (served as utf-8) Failed - with BOM without charset (served as us-ascii) For authoring tool (which are not HTTP user agents), only the test with BOM with charset is meaningful. I have added this table to the page, feel free to modify http://esw.w3.org/topic/QA/Utf8BomInteropReport -- Karl Dubost - http://www.w3.org/People/karl/ W3C Conformance Manager, QA Activity Lead QA Weblog - http://www.w3.org/QA/ *** Be Strict To Be Cool ***
