This issue tracks the bug listed above and was created as part of the WG LC process. The bug was created prior to the WG LC.
---
http://encoding.spec.whatwg.org/ lists US-ASCII and equivalents (e.g., ASCII) as an alias for "windows-1252". This isn't correct, as Windows 1252 has several code points above 127 that are not ASCII characters. US-ASCII should be kept distinct from Windows 1252, just as it should be kept distinct from Latin-1 and all the other encodings that are extensions of US-ASCII. - Related Actions Items:
