Yeah right... The real problem is that people didn't keep the focus on the group's charter


Including the part that lists as urgent

  - Use of non-ASCII character sets in article headers and bodies

That's subsumed by the part that says

  - Standardization of article bodies and the use of MIME in articles.

since MIME provides for non-ASCII character sets in header fields and bodies.

Now it's true that the MIME methods (2047 / 2231) aren't directly
applicable to non-ASCII newgroup tag components (and that's the sole
exception), but then (N.B.!) there's no mention of non-ASCII newsgroup
tag components in the charter.  Kent is absolutely correct.
