Well, I'm sure there would be plenty here who'd like to know. ASCII is a 7-bit character coding scheme - nothing more, nothing less. The term "8-bit ASCII" could be used to refer to any of a number of 8-bit codes which coincide with ASCII for values under 128: ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-2, ..., ISO-8859-9, ISO-2022-JP (I think), the Windows and Macintosh character sets, and others. [BTW, when using US-ASCII as an entity character encoding, must one declare it as UTF-8, and use other means to ensure that multi-byte characters don't occur?] -- xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
