and in fact Usenet abounds with untagged charsets

Obviously we can't make all of them work simultaneously. The way out of
this mess is for message readers to support UTF-8---as many implementors
have already done---so that message writers can safely use UTF-8.

Who said anything about gateways having to use language information?

You said that the user agent ``must preserve ... language information in
some way that it can be used by gateways'' or must use RFC 2047. This is
silly.
