When folks tell me not to worry as in my previous query, then I really do
get worried and try not to be hurried. (last clause not of semantic intent
but scans well.) 8-)
So a few points of clarification please.
Will the Unicode version of UTF-8 be registered with IANA and, if so, what
will be its "charset" designation?
Is the following an accurate statement of the present situation?
Currently, if an email client receives a message with "Content Type:"
containing "charset=UTF-8" and accepts up to 6 octets for each scalar
value, it would be considered "Unicode compliant." If it generated
messages with "Content Type:" containing "charset=UTF-8" and complied with
the IETF specification (RFC 2279) for generating UTF-8 8-bit values, it
would not be considered "Unicode compliant."
