Keith says that ``most'' applications expect ``ASCII-only fields.''
Details, please. Exactly which software has to be upgraded for UTF-8?
My current list includes the gethostbyname() library, mutt, pine, and
sendmail. Note that all of these would also need changes for ACE with
slow nameprep, and for ACE with fast nameprep and slow encoding.
