Nice link! Print and bind a few dozen copies and I'll give it out to everyone I work with...
One nitpick - although xml-dev has taught me that ASCII is by definition
7-bit, it might be safer for those strangely unwarped people who do not
frequent this list if
http://www.textuality.com/xml/xmlSW.html#charencoding used some phrase
like "Note that since the seven bit encoding known as ASCII is a subset
of UTF-8, ordinary ASCII XML documents do not strictly need an encoding
declaration."
