This mail of mine doesn't make sense. I should not write email while being
on conference calls.
Sorry.

To bring this back on-topic, I'm really beginning to believe that the
ultimate final solution to the SMTP problem will be a new message format,
where the headers are defined as UTF-8 from the start, in conformance
with the IAB guidelines. Rather than having headers co-exist, downgrade
the new message format whenever legacy systems and mailboxes are
encountered.
I might agree with this, but, my point with path [B] is that if/when this
is happening it can happen independently of what encoding is used in the
DNS (and other) protocols.
According to path [A], all protocols need to change at the same time.
