UTF-8S: a modest proposal

I would urge Oracle and friends to move this to a different venue, specifically
ietf-charsets@iana.org. As far as I can see, UTF-8S does not need either
the approval or the disapproval of the Unicode Consortium. If it is
actually in use, it needs a label -- and IANA is in the business of assigning
such labels.

By registering UTF-8S with IANA, it becomes a legitimate value of the
encoding declaration in an XML document, for example, as well as suitable
for use in MIME labels.
