If GNU websites are correctly configured and send the correct MIME charset in the Content-Type in the HTTP headers, the users should not have a problem, and if they do have such problems, a META tag probably won't help anyway because they have a *very broken* browser. > > Alternatively, for such systems it's trivial to generate UTF-16 from > > UTF-8. > > I think I don't understand this. do you suggest that webmasters > provide two versions of pages for the users to select them > manually, Definitely not. The web is not the problem (see above). The issue (if any) is local copies where the HTTP Content-Type header is unavailable. > or do you say that the users should convert the pages themselves? If they have a local copy and they have Emacs, this is easy enough to script. I really don't see why we should complicate the Info-HTML spec to save users from self-inflicted injuries.
