HTML 4 explicitly says user agents must not assume a default value for the charset parameter, as says RFC 3023 for application/xml (and application/xhtml+xml refers to that), so this is rather intentionally, isn't it? Sure, dump applications that don't know nothing about HTML may assume some default encoding (but as for application/xml they SHOULD NOT) but we don't have to deal with that. -- Björn Höhrmann { mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de } http://www.bjoernsworld.de am Badedeich 7 } Telefon: +49(0)4667/981028 { http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de 25899 Dagebüll { PGP Pub.
