How?  As far as I can see, the only way to get a 0 octet into a
UTF-8-encoded string is to encode Unicode codepoint 0.  RFC3629 seems
to think so too:

   o  Character numbers from U+0000 to U+007F (US-ASCII repertoire)
      correspond to octets 00 to 7F (7 bit US-ASCII values).  [...]
[page break]
   o  US-ASCII octet values do not appear otherwise in a UTF-8 encoded
      character stream.  [...]

and, as far as I can see, the encoding actually described does indeed
have those properties.

What am I missing?
