Are those supposed to be question marks up there (meaning "up for
discussion"), or did something go awry in the email encoding (possibly
on my end)?

There is one occurance of ? in there (Seq has no sigil, and thus no <sigil>[...] form).

The rest are Unicode characters, and my headers did include:

        Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed

so, I don't think there's a problem there... still, what Unicode characters are chosen (if any) is rather moot. The real issue is: do we want to have a disambiguated composer form, and if so is <sigil>[...] the right choice?
