Elliotte, I see that you also sent this to public-qt-comments but I'll just respond here (The WGs will no doubt respond on the other list) My use case and original WG reply are here: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-qt-comments/2004Feb/1235.html > I suggest a third bullet point be added along these lines: > > * the encoding attribute has a value other than "utf-8" or utf-16" I essentially requested that the third bullet was utf8 utf16 or us-ascii. The version suggested in the original reply quoted above would not allow malformed output and in fact although being phrased generally would just allow the case under discussion. ascii files with no explict xml encoding declaration. I believe the more general case that is there now (just droping the restriction altogether) came about due to use cases of eg wanting to concatenate xml documents and/or send them with authoritative encoding information in http headers, for both of which encoding declarations in the file can be a problem. However I didn't ask for that, and am not on the WG so can't really say, just guessing.
