Description Peter Occil 2013-08-14 14:31:34 UTC
Due to the way this issue was resolved <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=869878> the phrase "The parameter's value must be 'utf-8'" may be misleading.  It ought to be changed in one of the following ways, in order of descending preference:

* Remove the phrase; or
* Change the phrase to "The parameter's value should be 'utf-8'" or
 "The parameter's value ought to be 'utf-8'"; or
* Add a sentence stating that implementations need not treat
 values other than "utf-8" as an error.

This is in respect to <http://dev.w3.org/html5/eventsource/#text-event-stream>.

Moving to WebApps
Comment 3 Anne 2013-09-03 12:19:20 UTC
That requirement is a conformance requirement, not a processing requirement.
