Everyone, It is important the OpenReader Format meet international standards. After all, if the format is intended to be universal, it must truly be ...
JonN, I am copying Chris Lilley from the W3C because he is an expert. Chris, Any comments for Jon? Does the latest public draft of SVG Tiny 1.2 contain the...
... I am, admittedly, no expert on decoding ABNF, but as I read the RFC, and the referenced RFC2234, every part of a URI must eventually reduce to a US-ASCII...
... According to the XML specification, section 4.2.2: System identifiers (and other XML strings meant to be used as URI references) MAY contain characters...
... Nope. ZIP requires that filenames be in ASCII (technically ISO-Latin-1) - however, since UTF-8 is a valid subset of both, many implementations will write...
... I'm not sure I understand that comment - while Unicode code points are certainly a superset of ISO-Latin-1, a UTF-8 string and an ISO- Latin-1 string are...
... They are, if you don't know anything about UTF-8 decoding ;). The whole point of UTF-8 is to able to encode 2 (or 4) byte Unicode into only 1 bite, such...
... The whole point of UTF8 is to support ASCII, not ISO-Latin-1. That and to have smaller documents than UTF16. A side benefit is the lack of embedded NULLs,...
... That's the nice part about the mail header character set tagging -- you don't have to guess, because the value is explicitly tagged with the character set...
... True... ... No, it's to "hack around" the problem that the ZIP file format was invented before Unicode and no one seems willing to break compatibility to...
... One should be careful not to confuse the ASCII character set (Unicode code points 0-127) with ASCII encoding (characters having no more than 7 significant...
... Hmm, I didn't find this requirement in the ZIPAF specification (http://www.pkware.com/business_and_developers/developer/popups/appnote.txt). If you could...
Just to make it clear: The value of a mail header can be in any character set or language registered with IANA, or even mix several of each. In addition, each...
... Heh. I almost suggested that. I think the old Gemstar tools can do this (as a GUI, no less), though they are now eBook Technology tools. If you grab the...
... That's because at the time of the writing of that spec, there were not other ways to encode filenames (or have them treated in the file system) - EXCEPT...
... I ask this in total ignorance, but surely existing recent specifications derived from ZIP such as the Java JAR file format and the OpenOffice formats must...

Everyone, Despite the low-level of discussion on openreader-format the last few months, I've been busy exploring the myriad issues involved with the design of...
