No one suggested supporting obsolete RFCs. I compared the obsolete and
current RFCs precisely so that everyone could get a clearer idea of
what constitutes the current state of UTF-8 - which is what we should
support. I hope you agree that they are more reliable sources for
technical information than Wikipedia.
