in pdf traditionally there was only pdf doc encoding; this is supported 
by default

when unicode encoding was added to the spec, i started supporting it too 
  and given that one enables it, traditional tex should work out ok (for 
instance chinese bookmark were possible)

i've now enabled it for luatex (context mkiv) and when that works ou ok 
i'll see if i can support it for xet ex too (the problem is that i need 
to rework some code in the spec drivers and that was not on my current 
agenda)

(it means that i need to replace defaults for pdftex/xetex/luatex and 
since luatex is experimental anyway, let's start there)
