Two more commentaries:

	1) The article talks about "to be <em>encoded</em> as Unicode":

]] Note that this does not mean that all HTML and XML documents have to 
be <em>encoded</em> as Unicode! [[

- "encoded as Unicode" gives me the impression that Unicode can be 
considered an encoding. Whereas for the most part the article 
emphasizes that - quote: "Unicode is  a universal character set".  
Would it not be better to say "encoded _in_a_Unicode_encoding_"? (In 
line with the heading "Consider using a Unicode encoding".)

	2) W.r.t. the heading "Consider using a Unicode encoding":

- would it not be ideal if the text under that heading listed or linked 
to the [relevant] Unicode encodings? Currently the Unicode encodings 
are listed under the heading "One character set, multiple encodings", 
which says: "The encoding forms that can be used with Unicode are 
called UTF-8, UTF-16, and UTF-32."
