Uh... how about something like "in your registration form, non-ASCII 
code points must be encoded as an XML-like NCR"

I didn't say that the registration forms had to support non-ASCII. Only 
that it be possible for everyone to tell what the code points were 
supposed to be and for IANA to arrive at a UTF-8 registry from them.
