Hi Misha,

We're talking about XML in an RFC (and non-ASCII not being
legal in an RFC) because many or most new IANA registries
are _originally_ published in an RFC (because the outside
reviewers of the IANA procedures can clearly see what the
intended result is during the IESG 'last call').

If our IETF Area Directors and IANA are willing to forgo
such an RFC and go straight to the IANA registry plus the
procedures defined in LTRU 'IANA Considerations' section,
then this issue is irrelevant.

Although using non-ASCII and non-UTF-8 charsets in IANA
registries (like ISO 8859-1 which has been suggested) may
still get pushback from IESG and IANA.

Cheers,
- Ira

Why are we talking about XML in an RFC.  Surely the registry wouldn't be
*in* an RFC?

HTML 4.01 allows hex NCRs [1], as does XHTML.
