Olle,
I may be a bit stupid, but why is

filename = :b:iso-8859-1: R/Z0dGluZ2VuLm1hcA==

so much simpler than

filename = =?iso-8859-1?b?R/Z0dGluZ2VuLm1hcA==?=

that it is worth creating a new, incompatible coding scheme
for it?

I agree. If we're to have a character set name in there and the field
is to be encoded there is little purpose to be served by inventing something
that is different just for the sake of being different.

I already have lots of code to support RFC1522. I suspect many other people do
as well. I would like to be able to reuse this code if at all possible.
