And even when where parts of Subject: are interpreted as data (such as "Re:"), they are required to be in ASCII for them to work. Domain names are structured and used as protocol data everywhere. Any strangeness with a domain name is an opportunity for total failure, even outside the scope of the local application. It won't take long for folks to figure out that they have to use ASCII for everything, except where some function provides an explicit IDN data-type and can guarantee that it will handle any necessary conversion. -- Eric A.
