My comments on -02 apply to -03, with one extra:
Is the exacttext option worth it? It seems to be adding a lot of
complexity for fairly small gain. I understand users wanting to put
reject reasons in their native language. However, the intent of this
draft is that reject will operate at the SMTP level wherever
possible. Hence, the reject reason should be very short and must be
usable in an SMTP response. Use of ASCII is best for
interoperability. Use of UTF-8 will only work when EAI extensions
are also being used, or when MDNs are being generated instead of SMTP
protocol responses. Since EAI is new, I don't think we want to rely
on it. And the intent is to get away from MDNs. Hence, we should
encourage brevity and mandate ASCII.
Once EAI extensions are deployed we can extend reject to permit UTF-8.
