Having recently been caught out by this in another document, if you update 
to use RFC 3629, make sure you also take cognizance of the fact that the 
later version restricts the UTF-8 UCS character representation to 4-octet 
sequences rather than 6-octets as previously.

This is not a reason to resist using the later spec.  But, OTOH, you 
explicitly wish to retain compatibility with systems that may use the older 
spec.  I don't know what's right for you here.
