Following Jarno :-)

You use the phrase 'which does not directly encode
position #x0107 '

Guessing: position hex 107 in the utf-8 list of ?characters?

What do you mean by 'encode' please?

The charset in the xml declaration I believed
to be one of inclusion/exclusion rather than
'encoding'. Could I loosely define encoding as
'not interpreting a character the way I want it to?'

This of course, accepting that xt doesn't obey
this instruction (yet).
