Perhaps a typo only, but possibly with dire consequences; so I'd

This must be:
Encode characters beyond U+007F as decimal NCRs
UTF-8 uses the byte values beyond 7F for its multi-byte sequences;
8-bit, single-byte coded characters beyond 7F, interspersed in a UTF-8
datastream, would be misunderstood by the receiver.
