I feel foolish but I just realized a few things that should have been obvious:

- you have to run `extraclean` to reliably see results when you change anything
- the churn that bites me and recently Mike is about links from
languages we choose to use non-utf8 for linking to languages we choose
to utf-8 for
-- This means the "java11" behavior is more correct

Are there any known breaks for using utf-8 for English?  Can we take
that baby step safely and add something to the docs-build build to
verify some key output files look correct?  Maybe blocking old java
with e.g. -source that will blow up?
