Maybe say this: > "but note that US-ASCII is the default for Content-Type text/xml". Not only the default, but a default that is only overridable in the Content-Type header itself, not in the XML prologue. For that reason, text/xml should be avoided. > | Windows-1252, an extension of ISO-8859-1 > > Is "extension" strictly correct ? Or is it only a "variation" ? Extension is strictly correct. ISO 8859-1 does not assign meaning to the bytes 0x80-0x9F (the overall framework may assign them meaning as control characters), but Windows-1252 does. In the 0xA0-0xFF range, they are identical. -- Mos Eisley spaceport.
