You'll have to ask Murray what he meant, although as we've seen section 2.5
specifically says that an EAI authserv-id "may be expressed in UTF-8."

In an EAI message, an A-R header has to allow UTF-8 characters in
mailboxes, so it might as well allow them in other places including
domain names and the authserv-id.

R's,
John

PS: for anyone who might suggest one could "punycode" a mailbox, don't even 
think about it.
