With 10 years of experience, we know that, as ISO-2022-JP is used

Even if it were true that ISO-2022-JP were the only character set in
use everywhere in Japan, which I don't believe for a minute, Japan in
not the whole world.

I don't know about e-mail, but ISO-2022-JP is not used universally at least
for WWW. I've come across Web sites in Japan that use 2022, EUC, and Shift
JIS.
