I'm using a pretty antique "nmh", and some decade I'll upgrade to
something which might or might not work better.

I'm Danish, I know full well that ASCII isn't enough for people.

But protocols are not people, and while the are used to move the
communications of people, and therefore should be able to _move_
unicode, there is seldom, if ever, need nor advantage to pollute
the mechanics of the protocol with unicode.

This is why I keep asking people where _exactly_ it is they want
the unicode to go in the HTTP/2 protocol.  So far I fail to detect
a clear answer...

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
