UTF-8 in Internet Drafts (was Re: I-D ACTION:draft-jseng-idn-admin-01.txt)

I didn't say the *IDN WG* itself could change that. What I said was
"Would there be any way to get the policy on the format of internet
drafts to be amended to allow UTF-8? It is pretty painful trying to
read documents when the actual characters cannot be used."

I have no idea what the process that the Powers That Be have for
deciding the formats for internet drafts. I simply hope that that
policy gets changed, since it has gotten to the point that anyone who
wants to can read and write UTF-8 documents; various tools to do so
are free and easily available.
