The term "Unicode scalar value" doesn't exist in ISO 10646.
Please replace by "UCS scalar value".

The paper defines UTF-8 source file and then says
"How the character set of a source file is determined is implementation-defined."

I'm unsure whether UTF-8 is intended to be a "character set" in that sense.

Also, we have
"An implementation accepts UTF-8 source files; The set of additional source
file character sets accepted is implementation-defined."

UTF-8 is not a character set, so "additional" feels like a category
error here.

From a presentation standpoint, I think it would be best if
UTF-8 source files would be handled first and completely in
the phase 1 description, and then all the implementation-defined
"other" stuff would be described. We could just say
"For any other source file, ..." and leave the existing text as-is.
