I think it should be non-controversial to ban a legacy encoding that’s not supported by major browsers without showing statistics of use, since any use would already be broken. > And as I said before, we can't declare it > non-conformant for an implementation to support an encoding we would prefer > not to be used. I don’t see why not for encodings that are not included by the Encoding Standard. (The Encoding Standard includes the encodings that are already broadly supported by browsers and, therefore, may be expected by authors to work.) -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
