The necessity or not of complex normalization rules is entirely orthogonal
to whether RFC 2047 is use to encode the text. If UTF-8 is used as the
charset with RFC 2047, you are right back where you started. And I would
be surprised if there are not normalization problems with other charsets
that might be used in conjunction with RFC 2047.
