Agreed. But perhaps 8-bit characters could be legal in News headers
*after* a charset parameter appears? I know that one cannot depend on
header order being preserved in mail, but maybe News is (or could be)
different?
Not sure I like this.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see why a forward declaration would
be necessary. Just read (all) the headers, look for the key with the charset
carrying information and then proceed with any required charset conversions
on their values.
I'm sure that I DON'T like this. Not all UAs will be written
such that "just read all headers" will work w/o substantial overhead.
