Does email really need the ftp.unicode.org / IANA understanding of encodings instead of the Web-compatible understanding of encodings? > I believe we'll wind up taking a dependency either on libICU ICU's label handling and converters aren't Encoding Standard-compliant. For Servo, we should do the right thing straight away and implement the Encoding Standard. Having another set of converters seems like an opportunity for people to use the wrong (as in Web-incompatible) thing. -- Henri Sivonen [email protected] http://hsivonen.iki.fi/ _______________________________________________ Rust-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev
