This is indeed a violation of the Content-Type syntax defined in RFC 2616, in treating single quotes as allowed quoting characters. The spec claims that this is required for "backwards compatibility with legacy content". I'm attaching a test case that shows that the following browsers do *not* treat single quotes as defined by the spec: IE6, IE8, IE9beta, Konqueror 4.4 Please remove the requirement. 39934 1 julian.reschke 2010-09-29 12:10:37 +0000 (In reply to comment #0) > I'm attaching a test case that shows that the following browsers do *not* treat > single quotes as defined by the spec: > > IE6, IE8, IE9beta, Konqueror 4.4 (IE7 not tested) 40043 2 ian 2010-09-30 03:01:32 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.

If you think the spec needs to overrule the base spec, please convince KDE and Microsoft to change their implementations.
