<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/150

richard: I'm satisfied on issue-149
... 150 is old, perhaps very old

JcK: would declare many interfaces based on GB code to invalid
... may impact other protocols that depend on other encodings or labels

richard: understand where Anne's coming from

JcK: might merit a SHOULD avoid if at all possible

richard: can you write a follow-up email?
... probably need to extend 150

<r12a> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-i18n-core/2012JanMar/0101.html

addison: encoding may only apply to interpreting bytes

JcK: if there exist Unicode-incompatible encodings "in the wild"
... patches to support those scripts/encodings/countries may be banned from the internet

addison: may want to suggest explanatory text to accompany the "strong statement"
... might want to have a separate document we publish that explains
