There will also need to be a stringprep profile specified for mailbox
names when that step is taken.  rfc3501 got through before that
requirement was solidified, but UTF-8 mailbox names will certainly
need a profile for interoperability.  Should I be able to put U+00BD
("vulgar fraction one half") in a mailbox name on a system that
uses '/' as the mailbox delimiter?
