One possibility would be to just say something like, "conforming documents MUST be encoded as UTF-8 and declare themselves to be so". The biggest problem I see with that is that from an RFC 2119 point of view using UTF-8 isn't required for interoperability (for a start, UAs are required to support Windows-1252 as well). -- Geoffrey Sneddon <http://gsnedders.com/>
