Re: [Json] Gen-ART and OPS-Dir review of draft-ietf-json-text-sequence-10

Paul Hoffman scripsit:

  JSON text sequences MUST use UTF-8 encoding; other encodings of JSON
  (i.e., UTF-16 and UTF-32) MUST NOT be used.


That seems like a good clarifying addition as well.

I continue to think this is a bad idea.  In particular, you cannot claim
that because a text sequence entity body is not valid UTF-8, that it is
not a valid JSON text sequence; as I explained before, the JSON texts
may be truncated or otherwise damaged such that they contain only part
of a UTF-8-encoded character.
