Description Addison Phillips 2012-05-07 17:39:01 UTC
2.2.2 Dependencies
http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/infrastructure.html#dependencies

Contains this note:

--
This specification might have certain additional requirements on character encodings, image formats, audio formats, and video formats in the respective sections.
--

This note is not clear. I'm not sure what an "additional requirement on character encodings" would be? Does it mean that certain character encodings will be required/banned?

For instance. Or that BOMs be used in particular ways, or that decoding happen in particular ways, or anything really.

Addison, based on Ian's explanation is this still unclear to you? If not, can you please detail what you find unclear and if possible provide some suggested text?
Comment 4 Addison Phillips 2014-02-28 21:30:31 UTC
I have reviewed the section in the current document. I don't think any additional changes are needed.
