EBCDIC docs
I nuked the EBCDIC doc, because it is clearly so far out of date as to be harmful. However, it occurred to me that this was probably premature, before discussing it here, and I reverted.
I was hoping someone could advise as to what we should do with that document. I suspect that nuking it, and making a short mention of EBCDIC elsewhere, might indeed be the right approach, but it wasn't right for me to just do that unilaterally.

Delete it. Most of it is developer information, but it is hopelessly
out of date; the end user information is minimal (and doesn't help at
all if moving to the developer docs).
EBCDIC deserves a small writeup when somebody gets around to it, but
this is not a useful basis.
