The requirements on user agents for mediaCharacterEncoding and mediaContentEncodings are unclear in the current text. The mediaCharacterEncoding attribute seems to suggest that the value from this attribute should be used to override any value returned in the HTTP headers of the media, which seems to violate HTTP's requirements. The mediaContentEncodings attribute does not appear to require any behaviour on the part of a renderer, although it hints at possible uses. Please clarify the specification so that it is clear what rendering UAs may or must not do with these attributes, and so that any suggestion that they can be used to override authoritative HTTP headers is removed. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
