The W3C TAG finding "Internet Media Type registration, consistency of use"
says:
We recommend that section 7.1 of [RFC3023] be amended to something like the following:
The use of the charset parameter, when the charset is reliably
known and agrees with the encoding declaration, is RECOMMENDED,
since this information can be used by non-XML processors to
determine authoritatively the charset of the XML MIME entity.
Chris is behind this TAG finding, and I agree. Chris and I are
co-editors for RFC 3023 bis. So, why does thie media type omit
the charset param? I think that it makes a lot of sense to do
exactly what the W3C TAG finding says.
Cheers,
