What does deprecate mean? If support for UTF-7 can't be removed than  
deprecating it will hardly matter. (I'm not sure whether support can or  
can not be removed, but I'd expect there to be content to rely on it.)  
Roy's suggestion of not sniffing for it seems like better advice to  
implementors than a notion of it being deprecated.
