Jim Gettys famously laid down some principles for X11 development, number 1 and 3 of which are: 1.Do not add new functionality unless an implementor cannot complete a real application without it. 3.The only thing worse than generalizing from one example is generalizing from no examples at all. Do we have two examples of what it is that somebody cannot do (in a reasonable way?) without UTF-8 header values ? -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
