Commentary: ISO should kick OOXML off the standards bus
Sat, 26 Jan 2008 14:00:00 GMT
ECMA, the international IT standards association, recently published its responses to comments of the ISO National Bodies in response to Microsoft's Office Open XML application for ISO standardization (the actual 2,293-page response is closed to the public). The ECMA proposals will be discussed at a Ballot Resolution Meeting (BRM) in Geneva after which the National Bodies may reconsider their original vote. Microsoft's responses make clear that within one year, it will have four different OOXML specifications to implement and interoperate with, and each of those specs will be closed. Under no circumstances should such a flawed specification become an international standard.

NAME

       Encode::Byte - Single Byte Encodings

SYNOPSIS

	   use Encode qw/encode decode/;
	   $greek = encode("iso-8859-7", $utf8);  # loads Encode::Byte implicitly
	   $utf8  = decode("iso-8859-7", $greek); # ditto

ABSTRACT

       This module implements various single byte encodings.  For most cases it uses x80-xff (upper half) to map non-ASCII characters.
       Encodings supported are as follows.
