Done that.  I've only kept some mention of Unicode because the additional
stuff in there can be *very* useful for implementors.

Done.

I did that, but forgot the reference to RFC 1641 and the draft is out now.
Is this a problem?

Other changes:

- added reference to draft-freed-charset-reg-02.txt
- updated some other references.  Mentionned 17 (!) upcoming amendments to
10646.
- fixed wording here and there, hopefully without damage.
- tightened language on versions, already mentionned in a previous msg to
this list.

I've sent the revised draft to the I-D editor.  It is available right now
at <http://www.alis.com/~yergeau/draft-yergeau-utf8-rev-01.txt>
