I won't repeat Asmus' rebuttal, which adequately addresses this
claim.

However, if people want to go off on the "UTF-16 sucks, 
UTF-8/UTF-32, the way Linux likes it, is far better, and
besides, Windows sucks" tangent, please use some other subject
line for the thread, so that any discussion about PDUTR #26 can
focus specifically on the issues represented by PDUTR #26.
