RE: Text canonicalization

2002-10-21 03:31:22

Hi.

What about the other line ending characters?  With Unicode (or even
ISO-8859-x close to an EBCDIC environment), there a few more
characters which could end a line.

Let me repeat this question. ;-)

If you look at the discussion about the XML 1.1 specification, you'll
see that there is a real ambiguity.
All behind the 128-bit ASCII code should be left unchanged.
This will do no harm, because all other soft- and hardware
in the trasportsystem will do the same.
If an editor interpret those "in text format comands", it might
do (for display reasons) but should also not change the text!!!

Again: This is not a topic to PGP at all, because those chars
are uncritical to the mail-system.
The whole thing about CR and LF is, that the mail sytem on
some systems change them, insert additional whitespace to
the end or cut it of - nothing like this will happen to unicode
line endings.

Best Regards
