agreed.
Regarding the description of the language in section 2.1, how does the
following addition (based on text from Alexey) look:
While this specification permits arbitrary octets to appear in
sieve scripts inside strings and comments, this has made it
difficult to robustly handle sieve scripts in user interfaces.
The "encoded-character" capability (section 2.4.2.4) provides an
alternative means of representing such octets in strings using
just US-ASCII characters. As such, the use of non-UTF-8 text in
scripts should be considered a deprecated feature that may be
abandoned.
That would be inserted as the third paragraph in that section and given
additional indentation (ala the behaviors described in section 2.7.2).
this is good enough for me. I think "deprecated" is stronger than
"SHOULD NOT" in practice :-)
