Well, I haven't  been very active in the richtext discussion,
partly not to distroy the consensus reached (although I envy Nat
that he has got his specs in there and my RFC-CHAR is out in the cold.
The reasoning that Nat and others have for retaining Richtext in
RFC-MIME could also be said for MNEMONICS).

I have suggested privately to Nat that Richtext would
use the Mnemonics for "foreign" characters.  MNEMONIC is actually
one of the biggest collections of character names I know of,
and quite readable and transportable compared to other schemes.
