Message-ID: <E1Izb3d-00049v-8Q@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87hcizihwh.fsf@red-bean.com> (message from Karl Fogel on Mon, 03 Dec 2007 13:32:14 -0800)
The disadvantage is that emacs-mule is Emacs-specific. It would be
better if the file were readable by other editors and viewers --
although it's only parsed by Emacs (as far as I know), it *is*
human-readable, and we should take that into account when choosing an
encoding.
I agree that would be an advantage, but the first priority has to be
to make the feature _work_ in all cases.
I've always thought of emacs-mule as a purely internal encoding
system. If we're starting to push it out to files,
It was never supposed to be "purely internal". There is nothing wrong
with that.
