https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=26685 Bug ID: 26685 Summary: Mention actual goal (UTF-8) in preface Product: WHATWG Version: unspecified Hardware: PC OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Encoding Assignee: annevk@annevk.nl Reporter: ishida@w3.org QA Contact: sideshowbarker+encodingspec@gmail.com CC: mike@w3.org, www-international@w3.org During the i18n telecon it was suggested that, in addition to the current text, the Preface probably ought to mention upfront that the key goal of the Encoding spec is for authors and new protocols and formats etc to use the utf-8 encoding and use the ASCII case-insensitive "utf-8" label to identify it, and that the other encodings are described in the spec in order to establish interoperability in legacy contexts in the Open Web where use of UTF-8 is not feasible. I was actioned to ask whether it would be possible to add an initial paragraph to say something along those lines? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
