Re: [wsrp-markup] [wsrp][markup] URI encoding.

[Chris Braun <cbraun@silverstream.com>]

I think it makes sense to reference this appendix for URL rewriting.  Do we
also stipulate that all markup must be UTF-8 encoded.  I thought there were
some reservations on this tactic.  I don't think there are any other ways to
assemble multiple charsets into a single page.  The idea is that each entity
may be written using a different charset.  If this is allowed then the
container will have to convert it into UTF-8 before sending to the client
(browser). The other solution would be to have the container indicate to the
entity which encoding mechanism should be used.  This would ensure a single
encoding type across aggregated portlets.

Would simply requiring that portlet entities generate UTF-8 be too limiting?
If so, do we have use cases where this is the case?
