And as we recently mentioned the incompleteness of the current HTTP specification - at least in matters charsets - it may be worth remembering that it was 20 years ago, in March 1989, that a then little-known computer guy at CERN named Tim Berners-Lee wrote the paper "Information Management: A proposal", which invented HTTP and hence the WWW. And it took still a while after that for Unicode and UTF-8 to settle, so we can hardly blame him for having bypassed that aspect.
So hats off, and a respectful minute of appreciation.
If he hadn't, what would we all be busy with right now ?
