I may have missed the discussion on this, but here goes ...
The CHARSET command in Stan's latest draft seems a bit
backwards. The draft describes a CHARSET command that
clients issue the charset they want to use, and servers come
back with yes/no type response.
Seems like a negotation model would work better. That is,
The server returns a list of supported charsets, and the client
can try to pick the best one. I used this type of model in one
of my earlier search drafts.
Comments?
