I don't see any language to that effect in the C11 Final Draft I have
here.  AFAICT, non-UTF-8 multibyte sequences are still supported by
C11.  Can you show the text on which you based the above assertion?

Maybe you are talking about encoding of the identifier names.  What I
had in mind was comments and strings, not identifier names.
