I was assuming that people trying to mandate the support 
of UTF-16LE/BE.  It appears that my assumption is wrong.

Martin, would you be happy if some processors do not support 
UTF-16LE/BE XML entities (to be precise, document entities,
external parameter entities, external parsed entities, and 
external DTD subsets) containing the correct encoding
