That's not what he said in the responses *I* read. Perhaps I missed one on
this thread. As near as I recall, Misha wrote:
"Of course, EUC (EUC-JP in the
case of Japanese) may cover all the characters you require, in which
case there is no problem. Additionally, if you are thinking of XML (or
HTML) then you can encode *all* Unicode characters in an EUC-encoded
document, by employing numeric character references for characters
outside the EUC character repertoire."
IOW> That's not "EUC-unicode". I don't see a mention anywhere of that
(hypothetical) encoding. That's "EUC-JP with characters outside EUC-JP
represented as NCRs", and our parser handles that quite well...

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?
