Reason Phrase is different as this generally is not intended to be displayed in user agents other than for debugging/tracing/status indications, while Warning is really intended to be displayed to the user with information the user is supposed to read and understand. So Warning SHOULD support localized text outside English, or it will have an even harder time to get accepted than it already has.. What I remember from the prior discussion was to remove iso-8859-1 and 2047 from the general header definition to open up for new headers to be specified using UTF-8 if they like, not that we should drop 2047 support in existing headers defined as having human oriented text (Warning, Auth*, maybe more). But it was long ago... However I think we maybe want to revisit the general header syntax description, making sure we do provide the intended guidance for those who want to write extension headers requiring natural language content.. current wording kind of suggest such headers is not allowed.
