Well, your mnemonic spec does not work on the majority of Internet
netnews nor email sites today, as it is not actually mnemonic for all
romanised languages (e.g. Vietnamese, which is always romanised), is
not a general solution to the multilingual problem, and is not widely
implemented and deployed outside dkuug.dk.

Well, it works for all of internet, in the raw mode. Only ASCII is
assumed supported, and that can be assumed to be universally available,
viz. ASCII being a requirement of RFC 822.

Vietnamese is supported, as you know Ran.

It is quite widely implemented and deployed, I know many sites outside
Denmark using it. It is not mainsteam, tho.
