This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Due to the way this issue was resolved <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=869878> the phrase "The parameter's value must be 'utf-8'" may be misleading. It ought to be changed in one of the following ways, in order of descending preference: * Remove the phrase; or * Change the phrase to "The parameter's value should be 'utf-8'" or "The parameter's value ought to be 'utf-8'"; or * Add a sentence stating that implementations need not treat values other than "utf-8" as an error.
This is in respect to <http://dev.w3.org/html5/eventsource/#text-event-stream>.
