Ms. Ye,

If you want to argue that a qwerty keyboard is an instance of something,
feel free. Personally I think it is an instance of "keyboard". To use a
term such as "BCP" in an IETF context takes a little bit more than just
assertion. Personally I don't think there is the slightest connection.

Again, encoding schemes which are onto a 63 element set (6-bit minus one
encoding, or generally, sub-8 encodings) have their proponents, I'm just
not one. rfc768 specifies an 8-bit byte transport. rfc793 does as well.
