I don't follow your argument; could you please explain the circumstances

need to decode and re-encode in order to use a From field content to generate
a new To, Cc, etc. field.

Note that this is a pseudo problem: If a user agent copies data from a
header field of the original message, that header field is already known
to the implementors of that user agent. So the user agent has enough
information on the syntax of this header to do a conversion between to  
encoded and a self-defined display format.
