Speaking of which: did we ever *measure* the acceptance of
draft-hoffman-utf8-rfcs? As far as I recall, there was lots of support

There were a few different proposals. Some had support. Others probably
didn't.
What was missing was a directed exercise at trying to reach consensus. As is
usual for anything in front of the full IETF, a free-for-all exchange meets with
various objections and there is no follow-through to try to resolve things. Any
momentum that might have built then dissipates.
For spontaneous efforts, like these, it would be helpful to get a facilitator
appointed to serve something similar to the role of working group chair, to try
to resolve differences and assess consensus.
