General policy

So, has everybody on this list agreed that
 
        we should provide a single universal encoding of text usable
	by (almost) all existing protocols so that we do not have to
	extend all the protocols
 
Assuming so, has everybody agreed that the encoding should
 
	be for plain text processing
 
	be ASCII compatible
 
	be universal
 
	satisfy causality
 
	have finitestateness
 
	is finitely resynchronizable
 
Any opinion?
