Silly me! It's fontenc of course, not inputenc, and it's documented
inside fntguide.dvi, and all *2 encodings, like OT2, T2 and X2, are for
cyrillic. So UTF8 seems to be the name for UTF-8 fonts. XU looks like a
logical choice for XeTeX Unicode, especially since Jonathan mentioned
repeatedly that XeTeX isn't limited to the UTF-8 subset of Unicode. But
could it create confusion with XUL?
