Does this work for everyone? If there are no issues, I'd like to summarize it in the spec so that: - a "default encoding" is defined as described above - attribute specific encodings can be used, and their presence is signaled with an escape sequence similar to the ones used in Mark's language tags proposal. The default encoding would then be applied only when a attribute- specific encoding was not used. Agreed?
