Not removed, disabled (in some cases). Specifically, if the *user* or
some application programmer uses `prefer-coding-system' with a
non-Unicode (non-UTF-8?) argument, he won't get the result he expects
for some XML files. (This is true of my proposal as well, but I'm
proposing that XML encoding be explicitly decoupled from Mule
guesswork, so it doesn't bother me.)
In case you're forgotten, this is precisely the kind of behavior that
distresses the OP.
