I'm not qualified to comment on the various issues raised by Mr. Hopwood,
but I do hope that the definitions can be written to avoid confusion
between Unicode as such and the various UTF's. I constantly run into
browser, mail, and text editing software with encoding menus that list, as
two separate items, Unicode and UTF-8, as if Unicode and UTF-16 were
identical and as if UTF-8 were not Unicode.
Unicode is of course not responsible for what software makers do, but
clearer definitions might be helpful in the future.
