Revision as of 19:14, 22 August 2009
My scratchpad for encoding related notes.
Goals
- Document existing practices for
- Supported encodings
- Supported aliases
- Supported matching algorithm
- Converge the various used algorithms
- Get the new rules implemented
Current Implementations
Does this differ per platform? Opera might differ a bit on Mac.
Data
Integrate this awesome data somehow:
- http://coq.no/character-tables/mime/en
- http://coq.no/character-tables/mime/iso-2022/en
- http://coq.no/character-tables/mime/euc/en
- http://coq.no/character-tables/mime/locale-specific/en
Opera
Matching
UTS22 and ASCII lowercasing.
