OK for the first part, because we have
  @documentencoding UTF-8
in gnulib.texi.

But not for the second part:
  $ ./gnulib-tool --find doc/parse-datetime.texi
  parse-datetime
This file gets copied into other packages by 'gnulib-tool', and we don't
know the version of Texinfo (or merely texi2html) nor the @documentencoding
used in that other package.

In other words, Texinfo features that we use in such *.texi files should
be understood by both
  - texinfo-4.13a (the last Texinfo release that does not need perl),
  - texi2html 1.78a,
in order not to cause problems.
