Do you mean that a simple change of the name of the protocol would be
sufficient to address your concerns?

If so, based on John Klensin's excellent explanations in
http://www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf/current/msg49905.html, I
suggest:

1) Really plain text, as in NVT, with almost only CRLF sequences as
formatting: Unicode-NVT (currently in draft-klensin-net-utf8-07.txt)

2) Markup text as in XML: out of scope.

3) Plain text but using the full power of Unicode formatting: Net-UTF8
(currently not in any I-D, not widely in use and I'm skeptical about
it, despite the fact that it is technologically tempting)

Will it be better for you? (Not for me but may be the rough consensus
is against me.)
