The new PR adds the following text: "The value of this attribute is an EncName as defined in XML specification, section 4.3.3, rule [81]" OK. That seems eminently reasonable. Looking in the XML spec I find: EncName ::= [A-Za-z] ([A-Za-z0-9._] | '-')* No surprises. Ann encoding name contains ASCII alphanumeric characters, period, underscore, and hyphen. Nothing unexpected here. However, what should I do if the encoding attribute does not satisfy this production? e.g. it's encoding="ISO 8859 1"? Is this a resource error? A fatal error? Should the processor simply ignore the encoding attribute? or treat it as if it's an unrecognized encoding? I don't know that this requires going back to CR, but it should be clarified. Also there should probably be a test case for this. -- Elliotte Rusty Harold elharo@metalab.unc.edu
