Oops. I think those RFCs weren't out yet when I sent out the first 
version of this draft. I'll wait a day or two to collect other comments...

It's not legal for use with MIME in the contect of mail. There is still 
some debate as to whether it's legal in other contexts (e.g., HTTP). 
However, it's only a hypothetical example to show a path not taken, and I 
think it would be obfuscated by changing it to something else (like 
UTF-8), so I'd rather leave it as is.
