OK, so the UTF-8 changes should definitely go in. That makes a lot of
sense. I would think the typo and formatiing fixes are also non-controversial
and thus can be committed, too. Any 'hardcopy' PS version should also be
updated, I have noticed that this hasn't always been done in the past.

We should have a quick decision on this one. I will stick in the UTF8
changes already and wait with the IPv6 changes.

We have dropped PEX and XIE from the tree. This decision has been made
by XFree86 shortly after 4.3 came out and it was briefly discussed on
the Xorg list. No objections have been raised.
Therefore it would only make sense to drop them from the standard specs, too.
