wchar_t is 32 bits on my system.  I believe that a 16 bit storage unit will 
under normal circumstances occupy a 32 bit memory location, but only use half 
of it.

Why does Xerces-C use a non-standard data type?  If my implementation doesn't 
support a particular locale, and therefore does not use a 16 bit or larger  
data type, then what are the chances that I would use Xerces-C to support 
such a character set?
