Tony Graham's recent Unicode book gives you the full detail on this. Both
standards define the same set of characters, character names, and character
codes. The two standards differ in what they have to say about the meaning
and equivalence of characters, in the conformance requirements for
implementations, in their legal standing, and in details such as
variable-length encoding forms.

XSL processors (and indeed XML processors) are required to support only
utf-8 and utf-16. Any other encodings are optional, the implementor can
decide which ones to support.
