I don't understand what "DOCS private final byte UTF-8"
means. Do you mean using the following for UTF-8?
6. Non-Standard Character Set Encodings
[...]
01/11 02/05 02/15 03/00 M L variable number of octets per character
Do you know if there exist an application that send/receive
such an encoding? If so, now we have three methods for
transfering UTF-8 in inter-client communication (the above,
XFree86's only UTF-8 encoding using ESC % G ..., use
UTF8_STRING instead of CTEXT), and there's no way to know
which receiver accept which encoding. Sigh...

I've just confirmed that, in iso-8859-15 locale, XFree86
client (gnome-terminal) sends iso-8859-15 chars in extended
segment, not in the standard encoding (i.e. ESC - b ...),
but accepts iso-8859-15 in the standard encoding.
