ISO-2022-JP as is without any encoding is ACTUALLY WORKING NOW completely

It's "actually working now" in Japan only.  In Europe, iso-8859-1 is 
"working completely well" in message headers.  In Russia, koi8-r is 
"working completely well" in message headers. 

Each of these approaches only works within its particular enclave. 
None of these work outside their enclave, in a global Internet.

Hear, hear.  Nicely put.
