The message is that the IETF's work in describing protocols is done
only in the basic protocol of text.

Correct.

If it can't be described in text, it probably can't be implemented in
text as a computer program either.

The point I was trying to make was that if we simply filter *ALL* messages
that aren't text/plain, we're sending a message that we've given up on
multipart/signed messages as well.

Surely after almost a decade of MIME experience, we can do better than just
saying "Throw out all stuff that isn't text/plain".
