I'm working with an absence of understanding of exactly how the display form would be used, but my experience with XML data in general is that sticking with UTF-8 where possible tends to keep things simpler, since an application can always do whatever converting it wants to from that baseline. But in a related question, wouldn't it be bad to have different name attributes expressing themselves in either raw or display form with different encodings? How would the application know what the encoding was meant to be in each case? -- Scott _______________________________________________ abfab mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/abfab
