Don, Here is a new section in the Design Rationale portion of the spec: <h3 id="s.1.3.7">1.3.7 Character Model</h3> <p> The W3C architectural specification <cite>Character Model for the World Wide Web 1.0</cite> [<a href="#ref_charmod">CHARMOD</a>] gives the <em title="RECOMMENDED in RFC 2119 context" class="RFC2119">RECOMMENDED</em> representation of characters in XHTML-Print. Authors of XHTML-Print producing applications <em title="SHOULD in RFC 2119 context" class="RFC2119">SHOULD</em> be aware that lost cost printers might be limited in both processing power and memory and therefore, that fully-normalized ([<a href="#ref_charmod">CHARMOD</a>], <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/charmod/#sec-FullyNormalized">4.2.3) utf-8 encoded documents could print more quickly than documents in other forms and encodings. </p> I hope that this section will help discourage UTF-16. Jim
