Brian M. Carlson 4550bf19cf utf-8.7: Two clarifications
This patch clarifies that 0xc0 and 0xc1 are not valid in any UTF-8
encoding[0], and it also references RFC 3629 instead of RFC 2279.

[0] In order to have 0xc0, you'd have to have a two-byte encoding
with all the data bits zero in the first byte (and thus only six
bits of data), which would be an ASCII character encoded in the
non-shortest form.  Similarly with 0xc1.

See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=538641

The man pages were rather inconsistent in the use of "Unix"
versus "UNIX". Let's go with the trademark usage.

The tendency in English, as prescribed in style guides like
Chicago MoS, is towards removing hyphens after prefixes
like "multi-" etc.
