Re: printable multibyte encodings

Perhaps I'm being dense, but it seems to me that any 16-bit (or 32-bit,
or 128-bit, or whatever) characters can be (and typically are)
represented as 8-bit octets in a canonical order.  At that point, they
can be represented in MIME using either base64 or quoted-printable in a
straightforward manner.  Why do we need anything special here?  --
