Several aspects of the interpretation of the character encoding given as storageEncoding need to be clarified:

- Which character encodings is an implementation required to support? Support for UTF-8 must be mandatory.

- What's the required behavior if storageEncoding specifies a character encoding that the implementation doesn't support?

- What's the required behavior if the selected nodes contain characters that the specified character encoding cannot represent?
