| 15:40 | <Blaze> | Hello, I was reading the Encoding Standard on WHATWG (https://encoding.spec.whatwg.org/#utf-8), and I’m scratching my head, isn’t this part already defined in the Unicode / ISO specifications? |
| 17:39 | <jmdyck> | My guess is, Unicode defines a valid UTF-8-encoded sequence of bytes, but the Encoding spec is concerned with what an implementation does when it receives any sequence of bytes, valid or not. |
| 18:23 | <annevk> | Yeah, close, Unicode has several allowed definitions around error handling. The encoder could maybe be replaced with a reference, but implementers preferred having the definition inline as well. |
