Summary: XML_Char is not always UTF-8

Initial Comment:
Hi!
I use expat 1.95.8. I read the documentation and
everywhere it says that the character data submitted to
my application will always be either UTF-8 and UTF-16
depending on how it was compiled.

But on page 17, chapter 'Handler Setting', last
paragraph it reads 'Your handlers will be receiving
strings in arrays of type XML_Char. This
type.....contains bytes encoding UTF-8.
.....independent of the original encoding of the document. 

It should say UTF-8 or UTF-16 depending on how it was
compiled, here too right?
