The Editor's Draft of 3 March has the following for section 3, Specifying a
Document's Character Encoding:

]]
Polyglot markup uses either UTF-8 or UTF-16. UTF-8 is preferred. When polyglot
markup uses UTF-16, it includes the BOM indicating little-endian UTF-16 or
big-endian UTF-16. 

Polyglot markup declares character encoding in the following ways, which may be
used separately or in combination (If used in combination, each approach
contains identical encoding information): 
  •Within the document
    &#9702;By using the BOM.
    &#9702;By relying on the default XML UTF-8 encoding in combination with the
use of the <meta charset="UTF-8"/> element.
  •In the HTTP header of the response [HTTP11], as in the following: 
...(rest unchanged)

I believe these changes satisfy the requests in this bug and have therefore
resolved it as fixed. Thanks, again, for your continued help.

Eliot
