I think I need to make this more precise. As I have written earlier
there is no doubt that ISO-2022-INT-* works, when the nessecary
support is present.
The problem arises, when no support is present. I would believe that
the message then gets thru anyway, but when displayed on equipment
without 2022 support, the message becomes non-intelligble. That is,
when the 2022 shifts are not honored, the message is displayed
most likeky in another character set, and the characters shown will
most likely have no correlation to the ones intended.
2022 conformant equipment can be found all over the world, but
in some significant areas it is not widespread. This include Europe
and the Amercicas. You cannot assume that 2022 conformance is
available on all Internet connected equipment.
