<PRE>I see both &quot;US-ASCII&quot; and &quot;ASCII&quot; are used in:
<A HREF="http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-hixie-thewebsocketprotocol-54">http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-hixie-thewebsocketprotocol-54</A>

If they mean the same thing, one should be used consistently.

In the document, US-ASCII seems to mean encoding while ASCII
mean charset. Is this common? (I guess US-ASCII is commonly
considered as an alias for ASCII.
