The CPP-CPA specification mentions a form of transport encoding called
HTMLEncoding.  This mention is inherited from IBM's tpaML.  HTMLEncoding is
a data transformation scheme in which certain characters in the payload of
a message sent by HTTP are transformed so that a receiving browser won't
attempt to process them.  An example is replacement of < by &lt.

I have been unable to find a reference to a specification of HTMLEncoding.
If it is mentioned in the CPA-CPP specification, there should be a
reference to its specification.

Can someone point me to a specification for HTMLEncoding?

Regards,
Marty
