Yes, I agree that UTF-8 SHOULD be the default charset for '
SourceLocation' URI.
However, if 'SourceLocation' isn't used by a destination site to specify
the source site's identity , it is not REQUIRED because the destination
site just uses it to retrieve assertion and the source site must have
already known what charset is used for 'SourceLocation'.
