Are you asking about the spec or my code? If the former, not really. if the
latter, most of the code operates solely on Unicode strings and doesn't care
what the encoding is as long as the parser supports it, but output is always
to UTF-8.

In a few places in C++, practical considerations mean that some UTF-8
strings are treated as ASCII, but never for any comparison purposes, only
because both are null-terminated.
