Henning,

Sorry to bring this up again, but Hannes made me reread the text and  
I caught a nit.

[ snip ]...

Is "MUST use UTF-8" intended to purposefully rule out UTF-16, which  
all XML parsers are required to understand?  That is fine if it is,  
but this would seem to then restrict the document to UTF-8.  If this  
is a protocol requirement, it needs to be stated.
