Circles are not impossible, just a pain:

Likewise for normal distributions:

I developed tools to convert RFC from/to mediawiki pages. As long as
RFC 3935 obliges to use English ASCII, the simplest English ASCII
format is the best as it permits easy format conversion. The only
real problem I meet is the impossibility to use circles in figures.

Note that I am not arguing in favor of plain text as the IETF

That requirement is explicit for RFCs.
It is explicit for RFCs, but not for plain-text files in general. IETF
could theoretically change the RFC requirement, although you are
correct
that given the non-acceptance of draft-hoffman-utf8-rfcs, it seems
unlikely. The topic did come up again on the list, with the usual
conflation of "ASCII" and "plain text."
Indeed.
Speaking of which: did we ever *measure* the acceptance of draft-
hoffman-utf8-rfcs? As far as I recall, there was lots of support for
it.
