Hi Fernando,
I think Xerces should support all the aliases that IANA lists. As to a properties file: other than IANA aliases, what other encoding-names do you think people will need to use? I'm just wondering whether we need to go as far as a properties file, or whether just using the infrastructure that MIME2Java provides is enough? BTW, note that I've cc'd [email protected] on this note; it seems to me to be the natural home for development-related discussions like this.

So someone is listening :) We eventually had found MIME2Java and added latin1 support successfully. I am wondering if there is interest in supporting even more encoding aliases? Or taking the encoding maps from a properties file.. so that it can even be easily configured... So if I submit a patch, I feel like having MIME2Java get it's information from a properties file... any ideas? fernando On Thu, 26 Apr 2001 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > Hi Fernando, > > Patches always welcome--especially in areas like encoding aliases where the > need is clear.
