[whatwg] Drop UTF-32

This may have already been asked (sounds familair) but I don't see it in the archives. What if the min or max values for a meter is unbounded? For example, the 7th member of the Fibonacci series? How does one indicate that? -- Elliotte Rusty Harold [EMAIL PROTECTED] Java I/O 2nd Edition Just
