I can never understand whether I am meant to take note of these 
non-ASCII warnings.

Like a number of the drafts I've been taking through to RFC recently, 
this is a v old draft, that was written in xml2rfc v2. My wysiwig XML 
editor stlil only supports v2. So at the end of WGLC, I converted the 
doc to xml2rfc v3 (using the author tools) which replaces all the v2 XML 
entities like   with the non-ascii equivalent. So then, I manually 
tweaked the v3 XML necessary to define the various XML entities for the 
non-ascii characters again, and replaced all their occurrences. Then, 
when the author tool produces the txt, it outputs all the instances of 
XML entities again to non-ASCII characters in the txt.

What is wrong with that? And I thought I was following the guidelines (I 
also asked Jay and followed his advice as to which online advice to 
follow)? So am I meant to follow the guidelines, or am I meant to take 
note of the warnings in the nits? I'm perplexed.
