Let's not revive that proposal. If we do revive it, please change the
name from CompoundText2 to something else (say, UTF16_STRING).

But UTF8_STRING is sufficient, so let's not have so many different ways
to do it. Having a single way to do Unicode in X selections would avoid
confusion, and provide a single goal for implementors.
