Bernd> I don't understand it either but it is so. One reason is that the server may very well translate the encoding based on negotiation with the client. (I guess you could argue that it should remove the charset attribute from the META tag if it does.) A second reason is that admins will occasionally translate encodings and not even be aware that some users who are too smart for their own good have used META tags.

While I think the standard got the precedence right, this feature should be disabled by default. -- School of Systems and Information Engineering http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
