        Slight but relevant correction: you can use any encoding of which
the parser is aware.

        Misha was not talking about EUC-JP, rather EUC-unicode (or some name
like that), which encodes unicode scalar values using the EUC method, and
uses character references for those values (most of them) that are outside
of the EUC encoding range. Have you tested your parser against that?
