The discussion about character sets, etc. is facinating, of course, but I
now wonder what it is doing on an email list.
There is important work to do on this topic and I hope that it is
pursued further within the IETF, but I strongly suggest that it
be moved to its own email list and its own working group.
There already exists such a mailing list
charset(_at_)necom830(_dot_)cc(_dot_)titech(_dot_)ac(_dot_)jp
If that work results in some suggestions for additions and enhancement
to Internet mail, that will be fine, but the core topic really dones not
belong here, in my opinion.
Urrrr, wait a moment. As ISO10646/Unicode is not a character set of this
ML, we shouldn't register such encoding as
charset=iso-10646-utf2
But, assuming that the only language dependence of Unicode is to Devanagari
and to Han, we might be able to register
charset=iso-10646-sanskrit-japanese-utf2
or
charset=iso-10646-hindi-chinese-utf2
