Since there is nobody suggesting a modification of the document format
from 7 bit plaintext to UTF8 and since further it is clear that this
would satisfy neither camp, I fail to see the relevance for including
it.
Expressing surprise that such an option has not been considered is,
well 'interesting'.

I continue to be puzzled by statements like this. A plain-text file
encoded in UTF-8 can contain any Unicode character that an HTML document
can contain.
Note that I am not arguing in favor of plain text as the IETF standard.
I just want to keep this part of the discussion real. There is no
requirement anywhere that plain-text files may contain only ASCII
characters.
