http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=4666

           Summary: Should SML IF specify any minimum requirements for the
                    encoding used in SML IF documents
           Product: SML
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Interchange Format

Section 3.2 of the SML IF spec requires an SML IF document to be encoded using
UTF-8 or UTF-16 schemes, and prohibits the use of any other encoding schemes.
However, the XML 1.0 specification does not specify any requirements on the
encoding used in XML 1.0 documents, and this lack of "minimum requirements" has
not proven to be problematic for the interchange of XML 1.0 documents. So,
should SML IF remove the requirement that SML IF documents must be encoded
using UTF-8 or UTF-16
