"L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, UNALTERED IN
THEIR TEXT and in their titles."
I think changing 標準語 to æ¨æºèª would not count as leaving the
invariant sections "unaltered in their text."
Plus, leaving the raw octets unaltered is not generally possible. For
example, not all octects are valid latin1, and over half of octects are
not valid printing ASCII.

Most licenses are not actually a problem in the same way invariant
sections are. Invariant sections in the GFDL must be kept as a part of
the document; generally, it is OK to distribute the license along with
the document --- it need not be part of it.
