One, clients aren't our core competency. We're describing a language,
not the diverse applications that produce scripts written in it.
An editor parses applications written in it, which is in scope. I agree
that the other functions of the editor are out of scope.
I thought we were discussing proscribing how the editor lets
its users enter input that eventually ends up in a field to
the vacation command. ("Have a separate field to let people
enter the charset for later RFC2047-encoding.") That's different
from the command syntax itself.
I think this is worth a sentence or so, making potential high-level
editor author aware that they need to parse both utf-8 and 2047-encoded
blah.
Yeah, that's reasonable.
