Suggestions for 8BITMIME capability

There was a request some time back to get the 8BITMIME capability added
to tmda-ofmipd:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=25325009

As I understand it, this requires possibly re-encoding messages to a
7-bit format when transmitting to a host that doesn't advertise 8BITMIME
support. However, there's an interesting case made for a different
approach here:

http://cr.yp.to/smtp/8bitmime.html

Since this requires virtually no effort to implement, it's appealing to me.

Does anyone have any thoughts what approach to take? Also, I'm wondering
what difference 8BITMIME makes in practice. My mailer seems to send 8
bits without this capability advertised, which makes testing tricky. If
I knew of use-cases that actually fail without 8BITMIME, that might
help.
