    It looks to me like Christopher is not after an analysis of what standards could somehow be squeezed
    to use Unicode charsets, but rather a list of standards that _specify_ (actively, not potentially)
    Unicode/10646.

    The obvious ones are of course
    HTML (at least since 4.01: http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/charset.html#h-5.1)
    XML
    ECMAScript

    I do not have a complete list.
