[Bug 12199] New: Step 4.4 "For each character ..." -> It must operate on a sequence of characters, not on a character. Otherwise it would generate overlong form when the encoding is stateful (e.g. consider ISO-2022-JP's escape sequences).

           Summary: Step 4.4 "For each character ..." -> It must operate
                    on a sequence of characters, not on a character.
                    Otherwise it would generate overlong form when the
                    encoding is stateful (e.g. consider ISO-2022-JP's
                    escape sequences).
