I think this is unnecessary redundancy. Couldn't there be one document
("PackagingReviewCookBook") that uses phrases like "<X> MUST be <Y>

and would link to other pages containing the reasons if needed.

The "file" command can determine that with reasonable probability as
differently encoded files contain byte sequences not valid in UTF-8.
