another interesting problem is the character sets that can't be used
with MIME under the new, stricter rules for text/plain (CRLF must be CRLF).
Are those rules for text/plain or are they for text/* ?
They apply to all subtypes of text. Text with no restrictions on byte values
needs a new primary type.
The requirements that led to the restrictions on character sets for
use with text/* transported by mail don't seem to hold for text/* (or
at least text/html) when transported over HTTP.
As far as I know they do. What issue are you referring to here?
