I don't see the problem here. Maybe because the UTF-8 encoding is only defined for str value types and not for the other string usages, like for attributes?

> "3.3.4 Str Encodings 
> Table 3.5 Str Encodings confuses string encoding with value types. 
> The first entry references (without citation) one assumes the XML Schema datatypes documents for UTF8. Which is a recognized string *encoding.* 
> The second entry uses a heretofore unknown type of encoding called ""prev."" The description says: ""u2 index of previously defined string."" 
> u2 appears in 3.3.8 prior to year, 3.3.2 Int Encodings for Unsigned 16-bit integer value, which along with the explanation implies u2 is a unsigned 16-bit integer value for an index. 
> However that may be, an index is not a string encoding but value. Which is ok so long as values and string encodings are not confused. 
> A better way to state the allowed values would be UTF8 strings or index values that refer to UTF8 strings. There you can define the index value."
