All OpenPGP text is Unicode, so there's no need for *another* explicit
mention of this. The bottom 128 characters of Unicode are ASCII, and
the bottom 256 character of Unicode are ISO Latin-1.
What we colloquially say that a space is 0x20, that also means 0x0020
and 0x00000020 as well.
While I agree that the ability for people to ask exasperating questions
knows no bounds, there's such a thing as too much explicitness.
