The text is accurate as written.  The UTF-8 encoding is what's
acceptable, other possible Unicode encodings are not.  Plus, the XML
declaration is only a hint, not a dependency.

It's not used normatively.  The telephone number syntax used in the spec
is derived from E.164, not cited normatively from it.

OK.

OK.

It's intentional.

Thank you for catching that.

Will be fixed.
