I like the current draft much better than the one some month ago.
I don't like everything in the draft, but I don't expect that opponent to
this draft are actually able to produce anything better than that.
Technically I think the draft is heading the right way and they are not.
On the long term, switching everything to utf-8 in the headers without
creating yet another encoding is the sane and simple thing to do, even if
there will be some initial difficulties.
I think the use of RFC2047 as an interim solution as suggested by the
current wording to solve the problem of the fact a direct switch to raw
utf-8 is impossible and will not happen is the best possible solution.
