OK.

The good thing of the IETF is that there are several character
set experts who also have the real world expertise.

In ISO, there is none.

Though your opinion might be different, please give us technical comments
preferably based on the real world experiences.

If you see the reality, there is not so much things to quarrel with.

What I have shown already (universality etc.) are merely the
current minimal requirements based on my experience of the plain
text processing.

We should not stamp out any alternatives, unless we agree on the
minimal requirements, of course.
