This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
The polyglot publication repeats what was bug 10258 in the HTML5 spec itself. UTF-16BE and UTF-16LE are registered encodings that are by definition BOMless, so the spec should say "big-endian UTF-16" and "little-endian UTF-16" instead.
Hi Henri. Can you clarify something for me? Are you merely asking that I replace "UTF-16BE" with "big-endian UTF-16" as well as replacing "UTF-16LE" with "little-endian UTF-16"? Or is there more to this than that? Thanks.

Thanks.
