Hi.
I was just reading through the proposed RFC Editor notes for this document.  I think it needs to be more explicit that the 0 < (1st character) < 128 occurs when it is encoded in UTF-8. Thus:OLD: Recipients that wish to support Unicode encodings other than UTF-8 can do this using a detection mechanism that is based on the fact that the first Unicode character will always have a Unicode code point value greater than 0 and less than 128, thus the UTF-16/32 variants can be detected by inspecting the first few octets for nulls.
NEW: Recipients that wish to support Unicode encodings other than UTF-8 can do this using a detection mechanism that is based on the fact that, when encoded in UTF-8, the first Unicode character will always have a Unicode code point value greater than 0 and less than 128, thus the UTF-16/32 variants can be detected by inspecting the first few octets for nulls.
ENDS
