There's an installed base that finds localized 8-bit character sets in
headers useful. That doesn't mean it interoperates or should be blessed in

Unqualified local parts are not legal by 821 or 822. They should always be
treated as a Sieve syntax error. Perhaps the protocol used to upload a
Sieve script could provide a domain which clients may choose to append to
unqualified local parts.
