  51. I think you just lost both readability and precision.
  52. Please keep saying &quot;ASCII&quot; or &quot;US-ASCII&quot;, and then have a reference to
  53. the ANSI or ISO spec that actually defines ASCII, such as
  54. [ANSI.X3-4.1986] American National Standards Institute, &quot;Coded
  55. Character Set - 7-bit American Standard Code for
  56. Information Interchange&quot;, ANSI X3.4, 1986.
  57. (taken from the relatively recent RFC 5322).
  58. RFC 1345 is a non-maintained, historic informational RFC that's nit
  59. really a good definition for ASCII. If you disagree, please name a
  60. single RFC that has been published in the last 20 years that uses RFC
  61. 1345 to reference ASCII (I just searched, and couldn't find any).
  62. Best regards, Julian
