Tex, >Section 5.2.1 discusses the BOM. Also see my previous mail.
Ah right. I agree that a BOM is definitely a good idea there but as 0xFFFE0000 could either be a UTF-32LE BOM or a UTF-16LE BOM followed by a U+0000 (should't happen too often, though) it is not necessesarily easy to determine the correct encoding from the BOM. Therefore, for me it seems mandatory to have the encoding defined in the http header if using UTF-16 or UTF-32. BTW: On Mac OS X Chimera 0.2.2 <http://chimera.mozdev.org> (uses Mozilla's Gecko rendering engine) correctly displays the UTF-16 page. Steffen -- Steffen Kamp mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
