Yawn! The draft does not require, or even allow, raw UTF-8 to be passed to
moderators. If you think it does, then please put up or shut up.

The draft permits a UA to generate raw utf-8. That is then passed to
an injection agent, which determines that one or more newsgroups are
moderated.  Existing injection agents do not transform raw-utf-8,
and no existing or future injection agent can transform any untagged
8-bit content without charset and language information.

Why not?

The charset seems clearly to be utf-8!

And a langugae tag is only allowed for paramaters, and even there is
optional, is it not?
