Subject: Re: [xsl] I18N / UTF-8 versus US-ASCII From: "Olivier Collioud" <Olivier.Collioud@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 04 Apr 2006 13:02:42 +0200 |
We are using US-ASCII everywhere for several years now without any problem (and because we had many problems with UTF-8). We use OmniMark (WinNT/2000 and AIX), MSXML, Xalan/Xerces (C/AIX and Java/WinNT), Adept (WinNT), Epic(Win2000/XP) in our document processing chain. We publish our documents in French, Spanish, German, Japanese, Chinese and Russian languages (sometimes mixing any of these languages). >>> andrew.j.welch@xxxxxxxxx 4/04/06 12:47:03 PM >>> On 4/4/06, Sangal, Amit (STSD) <amit.sangal@xxxxxx> wrote: > I have less knowledge in this area. > > In my case also, XML (containing Korean character) need to travel from one machine(running in Korean/ko_KR locale) to another machine(running in english/en_US local) inside SOAP envelope. > > Is there any known disadvantage/limitation of using US-ASCII output encoding? The only disadvantage I'm aware of is that anyone reading the file is presented with the numeric character references instead of the characters themselves - this is not normally a problem as the only people who ever examine the XML itself are developers, users only see the parsed content (at which point all the references have been resolved). It would be interesting to know if anyone who was using US-ASCII output had to switch to a broader encoding because of some issue.... ------ World Intellectual Property Organization Disclaimer: This electronic message may contain privileged, confidential and copyright protected information.
