*> 58 lines as in the I-D guidelines and RFC 2223.

*> - Is it accurate that I-D's and RFCs are supposed to contain only
*> the US-ASCII (7-bit) character set? Or are we supposed to allow
*> for ISO-Latin-1 characters in people's names, etc.? I thought I
*> saw a document somewhere that answered this question (and said
*> US-ASCII only), but RFC 2223 only says "The character codes are
*> ASCII" which may not be specific enough.
Steve,
Knowing Jon, we may suspect that little piece of ambiguity may have
been deliberate. ;-)
However, the RFC Editor is currently enforcing 7-bit ASCII. We
recognize that this policy may not be the final answer.
