Have you read the arguments for ascii charset default in RFC 3023? If those arguments are not correct, then somebody should consider writing an RFC that obsoletes RFC 3023. If those arguments are correct, then violating the RFC may not be such a good idea even if it seems to solve the Atom problem. Alex.
