I agree on this suggestion.  Yes, "UTF-8" and "UTF-16" must reference 
to the same version.

We now replace

	As long as the character repertoires and code point assignments of 
	ISO 10646 and those of Unicode are in sync, and as far as they are
	not being reallocated, this charset refers to the latest version of
	Unicode/ISO 10646.

with

	This charset refers to the same version of ISO/IEC 10646-1 and Unicode 
	that the charset "UTF-8" refers to (See RFC 2279).
