>Will the Unicode version of UTF-8 be registered with IANA and, if so, what >will be its "charset" designation? Firstly, please let's halt the confusion right here. I'll repeat myself once more. We're not redefining UTF-8. What we're proposing is not a "Unicode version of UTF-8". It is another, completely distinct transformation, "UTF-8S". I've also stated in previous emails in this thread that I don't see a need for IANA registration, as it is intended for use within systems only, however I would also not object to such registration. >Currently, if an email client receives a message with "Content Type:" >containing "charset=UTF-8" and accepts up to 6 octets for each scalar >value, it would be considered "Unicode compliant." If it generated >messages with "Content Type:" containing "charset=UTF-8" and complied with >the IETF specification (RFC 2279) for generating UTF-8 8-bit values, it >would not be considered "Unicode compliant." I agree with this assessment. Toby.
