Trying to clarify...

I'm not advocating this as an alternative to an encoding mechanism (as
%) - yet. It's just that I think it would be good to think this through
(can we use UTF-8 in field values in practice). I *believe* from past
experience fixing interop with Content-Disposition (both spec-wise and
in Firefox) it might actually work.

But having said that - that would be kind of an experiment, and I'm not
sure this WG wants to run this experiment right now.

(the concrete proposal for that could be then as simple to relax the
rules for sf-string to include octet sequences of the UTF-8 encoding of
non-ASCII characters)

Best regards, Julian
