Agreed, LGTM. |
Without this, "may contain any Unicode characters" seemed too
ambiguous.
I wish there were cleaner references for the {language}.{encoding}
locales like en_US.UTF-8 and UTF-8. But [1,2] seems too glib, and I
can't find a more targetted UTF-8 link than just dropping folks into a
Unicode chapter (which is what [1] does):
The Unicode Standard, Version 6.0, §3.9 D92, §3.10 D95 (2011)
With the current v8.0 (2015-06-17), it's still §3.9 D92 and §3.10 D95.
The TR35 link is for:
In addition, POSIX locales may also specify the character encoding,
which requires the data to be transformed into that target encoding.
and the POSIX §6.2 link is for:
In other locales, the presence, meaning, and representation of any
additional characters are locale-specific.

Reopened from #1 after adding @julz signed-off-by and squashing the initial commits (after clearing that with him on IRC).
