      <p><em>February 23, 2004</em></p>
      <p>A new version for the proposal has been released. Major changes include 
        the removal of support for setting the encoding for a specific file, folder-level 
        default encodings and encoding-change events. Part of the API proposed has 
        been released as part of the 3.0 M7 milestone build. There is ongoing work 
        on support from Runtime to determine the encoding for arbitrary input streams.</p>
