Description peter green 2005-04-13 00:33:22 UTC
iso-8859-1 reserves the code space 0x80-0x9F for control codes that are
forbidden in html

however it seems that the vast majority of browsers treat iso-8859-1 as
windows-1252 which assigns printable charactors to theese code points. and
people do use theese charactors on iso-8859-1 wikipedias.

it would be wise to take this into account when making conversions to utf-8 (ie
convert them to the proper unicode code points for those printable charactors
rather than unicode code points for control codes that are disallowed in html)
Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2005-06-21 21:37:08 UTC
Already taken into account in UTF-8 converter for 1.5 upgrade.
