Topic: HTML 5 and Charmod (input from Andrew)
14:36:56 [r12a]

14:37:49 [r12a]
===================
14:38:02 [r12a]
HTML5 and
14:38:02 [r12a]
CharMod conformance
14:38:02 [r12a]
The Core I18N working group has concerns
14:38:02 [r12a]
over section 8.2.2.2 in HTML5.
14:38:02 [r12a]
We consider the following
14:38:03 [r12a]
instruction problematic:
14:38:05 [r12a]
"When a user agent would
14:38:07 [r12a]
otherwise use the ISO-8859-1 encoding, it must instead use the
14:38:09 [r12a]
Windows-1252 encoding."
14:38:11 [r12a]
There is a note that "this
14:38:13 [r12a]
requirement is a wilful violation of the W3C Character Model
14:38:15 [r12a]
specification".
14:38:17 [r12a]
Theoretically we would prefer for all
14:38:19 [r12a]
HTML5 documents to adhere to the W3C character model. We also recognise
14:38:21 [r12a]
the practicalities for user agents to correct obvious authoring errors.
14:38:23 [r12a]
The Core I18N group recommends that
14:38:25 [r12a]
1) Any
14:38:27 [r12a]
documentation developed for content authors and authoring agents must
14:38:29 [r12a]
conform to the character model, and explicitly indicate the need to
14:38:31 [r12a]
correctly and accurately identify the character encoding of a document.
14:38:33 [r12a]
HTML 5 material developed for content authors needs to give
14:38:35 [r12a]
clear and direct guidance on the importance and need of correctly and
14:38:37 [r12a]
accurately identifying the character encoding of a document.
14:38:39 [r12a]
2)
14:38:41 [r12a]
Authors and authoring agents sometimes miss-identify encodings. It is
14:38:43 [r12a]
useful to assume that character encodings that are a subset of another
14:38:45 [r12a]
encoding are identified by the browser as using the superset encoding.
14:38:47 [r12a]
If the HTML5 documentation continues to recommend that ISO-8859-1
14:38:49 [r12a]
documents be interpreted as Windows-1252 we would recommend an additional
14:38:51 [r12a]
note indicating that the sole purpose of this need is to compensate for
14:38:53 [r12a]
encoding misidentification introduced by the authors.
14:38:55 [r12a]
We would
14:38:57 [r12a]
also recommend that is you follow this path that you do not specifically
14:38:59 [r12a]
privilege the ISO-8859-1 - Windows-1252 encoding pair. Current web
14:39:01 [r12a]
browsers also use other subset - superset encoding pairings, e.g. GB-2312
14:39:03 [r12a]
and GBK, etc.
14:39:05 [r12a]
All such encoding pairs supported by current web
14:39:07 [r12a]
browsers should be identified in the HTML5 documentation.
14:39:09 [r12a]
We
14:39:11 [r12a]
assume the need for this guidance is based on the amount of material on
14:39:13 [r12a]
the web that is currently self-identified as ISO-8859-1 but is actually
14:39:15 [r12a]
Windows-1252.
14:39:17 [r12a]
One concern with this assumption is that such
14:39:19 [r12a]
behaviour is specifically dealing with HTML 4 and XHTML 1.0/1.1 documents
14:39:21 [r12a]
rather than the needs of HTML 5 documents. There seems to be an implicit
14:39:23 [r12a]
assumption that currently authors get it wrong and when HTML 5 documents
14:39:25 [r12a]
are generated in the future content authors will continue to get it
14:39:27 [r12a]
wrong.
14:39:29 [r12a]
This may be a valid assumption, but HTML 5 documentation
14:39:31 [r12a]
for content authors will play a important role in wether this assumption
14:39:33 [r12a]
is correct or not.
14:39:35 [r12a]
One final concern with this instruction is
14:39:37 [r12a]
that it ignores the common practice of deliberately mislabelling legacy
14:39:39 [r12a]
encodings as iSO-8859-1 when the legacy encoding for encodings not
14:39:41 [r12a]
explicitly supported by authoring agents and web browsers.
14:39:43 [r12a]
This
14:39:45 [r12a]
content, although self-identified as ISO-88859-1, should not be
14:39:47 [r12a]
interpreted as Windows-1252.
