As you say, 822 was never intended to address the issues of
internationalization. So don't expect to be able to do internationalization
within its framework. PERIOD!

You claim that MIME does not address internationalization either, instead
claiming that the use of iso-2022-* can. You may be right, and you may be
wrong, but at this point, it's irrelevant. One thing that MIME does do well
is to allow you to use iso-2022-* globally in an international community
without any hindrance<<. If you use MIME, no one will be able to complain
about your use of iso-2022-*. If you don't use MIME for your iso-2022-*
email, expect lots of complaints. End of story.
