Martin,

Although you have some points, let me make a comment.

But the RFC for UTF-8 (RFC 2279) is obsolete and is in conflict with 
Unicode 3.2 (as shown by the errata E27 for the second edition of XML).  
Moreover, is the Unicode signature for UTF-8 allowed or disallowed?  I 
do not know if any consensus has been reached yet (enlighten me, if I'm 
wrong)  I still do not believe that "UTF-8 only" provides a reliable basis.

Cheers,
