In modern practice the difference between content and transfer encoding is blurred since the pages requested do not exist until after they are requested (they are created in real-time).

For TSV format, the difference is that the file extensions are.tsv8 for UTF-8 and.tsv for the default encoding.

The major difference between the two is that the first contains a schema that fully describes the SOAP messages, while the second needs extra encoding rules to serialize the data into a message.
