Repeating this bad idea doesn't make it a good idea,

Besides being a bad idea on its own merits, this would without question
require us to recyle at proposed standard.

John,

Use of A-labels within header fields supporting UTF-8 is a bad idea.

Changing a reference of RFC3490 to RFC5890 already represents an 
incompatible change. Clarify use of resources MUST be at NR-LDH or valid 
A-Labels whether or not U-Labels are used within headers.  Mandating use 
of A-labels within header fields defeats the internationalization effort 
and is wrong.
