[snip alternatives]
This excludes an extremely important alternative:
a) UTF-8 is allowed in newsgroup names only, not in any other header
content
b) newsgroup names are 8bit on the wire but encoded in some form when
sent by mail
c) people will inevitably continue to use 8bit in other headers in a
variety of charsets, which should not be explicitly permitted in the
draft due to the known conflicts with mail, but which will remain
standard practice
