Hardware Serial Ports modes

Hi,

currently I have a project that requires the usage of serial port at 19200 baud using the 8E1 (9-bit) scheme. To my understanding the HW serial ports on Z-Uno can only do 8N1. Is this a hardware restriction or a software one?
In case it is a SW one, are there any plans to enable other encoding schemes in future releases?

Thanks

It is a hardware restriction.

Thanks,

it won't fit my needs as I need to reach 38400 in a 8E1 scheme. I will consider some dedicated SPI to UART chip.
