<blockquote>
"Non-text content: Content that is not represented by a Unicode
character or sequence of Unicode characters."
This definition could be interpreted as saying that all content on an
8-bit encoding scheme is considered non-text, which is clearly not the
intention. Is Unicode so universally used now that all other systems
don't occur in the real world?

It can only be misinterpreted, when mixing up encoding (e.g. UTF-8) and
character set (Unicode). I think, the WG really meant Unicode, right?
