The sources I checked were UTR #17, "Character Encoding Model," and UAX
#19, "UTF-32." The latter does not specifically talk about UTF-16BE or
UTF-16LE, but uses the same definitions to distinguish UTF-32, UTF-32BE,
and UTF-32LE that we are using here.
Mark Davis can probably point you to other sources as well.
