Description Masatoshi Kimura 2013-09-04 12:52:00 UTC 
Let's try to remove it before Chrome starts supporting and we are forced to support it forever. This is the last IBM (or DOS/OEM) encoding left in the spec.
Comment 1 Anne 2013-09-04 12:58:54 UTC 
Is it removed from Gecko?
Comment 2 Masatoshi Kimura 2013-09-04 13:02:54 UTC 
Not yet. Filed a Gecko bug.
Comment 3 Anne 2014-08-25 09:43:25 UTC 
Per http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-international/2014JulSep/0177.html Chrome implements this. I think this will be WONTFIX then.
Comment 4 Anne 2014-08-25 11:56:21 UTC 
All browsers support this encoding now. No longer sufficient justification for any removal attempts.
