I agree on this suggestion. Yes, "UTF-8" and "UTF-16" must reference to the same version. We now replace As long as the character repertoires and code point assignments of ISO 10646 and those of Unicode are in sync, and as far as they are not being reallocated, this charset refers to the latest version of Unicode/ISO 10646. with This charset refers to the same version of ISO/IEC 10646-1 and Unicode that the charset "UTF-8" refers to (See RFC 2279).
