Just to correct the inaccuracies about Issue 8 drafts in the above:

1. The most recently released draft is numbered 2.1 and is the fourth
draft (1, 1.1, 2, 2.1).

2. The next draft will be draft 3 and is intended to be "feature complete".
Therefore, if nobody proposes wording changes to add a POSIX.utf-8 locale
in time for it to be included in draft 3, it is highly unlikely there will
be a POSIX.utf-8 locale in Issue 8.
