I see you deleted the text referencing the use of this standard in
the headers.
Should we read this as:
- DO NOT use JP in headers, or
- I DON'T CARE if you use JP in headers?
If the first, I would want a lengthy explanation. If the second, I
will just observe the developments.
Well, it's the second, so perhaps I should add some wording to the
document. A proposal:
This document names the encoding "ISO-2022-JP", which is intended to
be used in the "charset" parameter field of MIME [MIME] messages. The
use of ISO-2022-JP in RFC 1342 [RFC1342] headers is expected to be
the subject of a separate document.
+ However, experimentation with ISO-2022-JP/RFC1342 headers is
+ encouraged.
This document only describes the encoding of plain text. The encoding
of other subtypes of text, such as richtext, is not discussed here.
+ Again, experimentation with ISO-2022-JP richtext is encouraged.
Objections, anyone? If so, suggestions?
Thanks,
Erik
