That page should be improved. "uc" stands for Unicode. It might be
that it will become the default encoding for XeTeX in future anyway
(so that it will be possible to drop the explicit usage). "uc" is the
only encoding that makes sense in XeTeX since no other (except
texnansi by a pure chance) is supported there. And you cannot use "uc"
encoding in 8bit TeX (pdfTeX).

Btw: \enableregime[utf-8] is ignored in XeTeX: utf-8 is already the
default input regime.

Perhaps it might make sense to support other 8-bit regimes (it's only
one or two lines of modifications), but well ... the purpose of XeTeX
is too head towards future, not to look back into the past mess of
encodings.
