Subject: Protocol Action: 'UTF-8,
a transformation format of ISO 10646' to Standard
The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'UTF-8, a transformation format of
ISO 10646' <draft-yergeau-rfc2279bis-05.txt> as a Standard. This document
has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working
Group. The IESG contact person is Ted Hardie.
Technical Summary
This document updates the specification of UTF-8,
an encoding of the UCS which is designed to be
compatible with many current applications and protocols. UTF-8
has the characteristic of preserving the full US-ASCII range,
providing compatibility with file systems, parsers and other software
that rely on US-ASCII values but are transparent to other values.
This memo obsoletes and replaces RFC 2279.
Working Group Summary
This draft and the interoperability reports associated with it were
discussed
on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list. Archives may be
found at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-charsets/ among
other places.
Protocol Quality
This specification was reviewed for the IESG by Patrik Falstrom.
