I'm quite confused with the current status of utf-8.el,
ucs-tables.el, utf-16.el, utf-8-subst.el, etc in HEAD and
RC.

They differ in many parts (utf-8-subst.el and the necessary
change for that in mule.el and ccl.c don't exist in RC).

It's IMPOSSIBLE for me to figure out what are the correct
behaviour of them.  I've thought that the current codes were
the same one as what Dave had, but the above statement of
Dave's tells that it's not.

Could someone tell me why are they different in HEAD and RC,
and why are they different from what Dave have written?
