Or, better, "in order to improve the detection of mislabelled
character encodings." Robustness seems the wrong word
somehow.
Also, the Introduction does not mention normalization.
As a side issue, it would be consistant for the non-letter characters in
Unicode Latin1 block (which are occupied by multiplication and divide symbol
in ISO 8859-1 and won't be allocated over) were treated the same
as all the other non-name characters in C1. These code points
are often the only things that allow detection of incorrect encodings
between ISO 8859-n sets. It only involves blocking D7 and F7.
[4] NameStartChar := ":" | [A-Z] | "_" | [a-z] |
[#xC0-#xD6] | [#xD8-#xF6] | [x3F8-#x2FF]
| [#x370-#x37D] | [#x37F-#x1FFF] |
[#x200C-#x200D] | [#x2070-#x218F] | [#x2C00-#x2FEF] |
[#x3001-#xD7FF] | [#xF900-#xEFFFF]
I don't believe I have any other issues. Good on you all.
Cheers
