The LaTeX 3 team discourages the use of Dominique Unruh's utf8x  
package, which also ran out of support. I agree that for use with  
pdfTeX and an UTF-8 based source file encoding in which not only  
Latin characters are used, the utf8x package is necessary – but only  
in this case! XeTeX is by itself an Unicode application that only  
accepts UTF encodings (8 or 16 bit based ones, I think) that does not  
needs to be taught to do so. It's also capable of detecting itself  
the kind of UTF encoding in the source file. Only editors or printing  
sub-systems need to be told what kind of file this is.
