I have specified some more details in my patched version:
We can only use Latin1 characters, not all UTF8 characters,
because some rendering engines do not support non-Latin1 UTF8
characters. Specifically, the HTML rendering engine can display
all UTF8 characters, but the PDF rendering engine can only display
Latin1 characters. In PDF files, non-Latin1 UTF8 characters are
displayed as "###".
In the SGML files we encode non-ASCII Latin1 characters as HTML
entities, e.g., Álvaro. Oddly, it is possible to safely
represent Latin1 characters in SGML files as UTF8 for HTML and
PDF output, but we we currently disallow this via the Makefile
"check-non-ascii" rule.
