Re: XML declaration in DTD System ID? ...To: NULL Date: 7/9/2009 1:18:00 PM Not necessarily true. Element names, for example, can contain any unicode name character, and some of those may be represented differently in different encodings. The seven-bit ASCII range is pretty stable (at least, unless you think someone might throw an EBCDIC file at you), but if you want to do a full implementation you can't completely ignore encodings. However, as the spec points out: If not otherwise specified, XML is normally assumed to default to UTF-8 or UTF-16, and distinguishing those is straightforward. If someone uses another encoding and doesn't tell you that they're doing so by providing the declaration, any breakage is their fault. | ||||||
