Well, I think we should do it right. That would at least include
an ENNTP specification for 8-bit NNTP transfer. We should avoid
quoted-printable for 7-bit transfers.
This doesn't work in news. News is a flooding system, not a
point-to-point one. You can't change the content of messages during
transport, it causes all sorts of problems.
We should allow 8-bit chars in headers fields.
Without character set information, such 8-bit information is useless.
Most enclaves assume a single 8-bit character set, this does not scale
to a global communication system.
