        Same issues as Win2K.  Lots of Plan-9 applications,
including several MUAs, do not handle UTF8 correctly.  Unlike 
Win2K, Plan-9 is not widely deployed, so isn't a good example
anyway for IDN WG.

        Want to try again ?  What you need are examples of
a system where *everything* handles UTF8 correctly, particularly
including *multiple MUAs on that platform*.  Such examples
don't exist -- the null set as it were.

        Not that I don't wish you were right, but the deployed
reality is what it is and we ought not pretend otherwise.
