I certainly agree that UTF-8 should be used for encoding. The
question is should the DOCS UTF-8 (XFree86 only, I fear) sequence be
used to invoke it, or should the DOCS private final byte UTF-8 (X11
standard extended segment) be used.
XEmacs will follow what GNU does on this; there's no point in having
yet another unneeded incompatibility. But I prefer to follow the
general standard, not XFree86, especially where the XFree86 practice
has always been forbidden by the general X11 standard.

I know it violates the CTEXT standard but many Linux apps give it to
you anyway.
It's interesting that they happily take the standard codes. That's
useful to know.
