I can't think of any either. UTF-32 is superficially appealing (O(1) indexing!) but it's only O(1) indexing by codepoint counts, not character counts so it's still lame and you pay for longer strings. It's possible that on some architectures / for some use cases it performs fabulously better than the alternatives, and though I doubt it, that would be a reason not to *forbid* the use of UTF-32. What we clearly don't have consensus for is requiring support of UTF-32. > There exists no situation where using UTF-32 for interchange makes > sense.

No, I think this is too much. If someone wants to use UTF-32 because they have numbers showing that for IPC and local processing it's faster, that might be compelling; let them. Anyways, I think we're focusing too hard on details that aren't terribly important. The "non-BOM-based sniffing rules" work and can be derived by any capable implementor whether stated or not by the RFC. > I continue to strongly disapprove of non-BOM-based sniffing rules > unless there's compelling evidence that such rules are needed in order > to interoperate with bogus existing serializers. I think it's fair to object to requiring sniffing, and I support not requiring it. I don't see anything wrong with leaving those in for those who want to include support for it. Nico --
