Right -- unless someone can come up with a case where it's important to be able to differentiate between IRIs and URIs in these. Since they're protocol elements that eventually boil down to URIs, I don't see it myself... >> Am I overlooking anything? > > Reason-Phrase, for instance.

My inclination is that they're protocol elements, and not user- visible, therefore the conservative thing to do is just document current practice -- i.e., encoding isn't supported. I could see an argument for explicitly saying that RFC2047 does apply there, but anything beyond that seems a stretch. Cheers, -- Mark Nottingham http://www.mnot.net/
