Not true at all!  XML is very strongly based on Unicode, and that's a 
wonderful thing.  Americans are very ignorant of the wide variety of 
letterforms and characters in the world, or we wouldn't have come up 
with the pathetically-limited ASCII as our standard machine character 
set.

XML is specifically and explicitly designed to overcome this dreadful 
parochialism and to allow characters from many different languages, 
including non-Roman ones such as Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese 
and Korean.

Remember, it's a World Wide Web.
