Fair enough.

Using something beyond ASCII may turn out to be a benefit to the
reader, depending on the reader's available technology. It's now
2007, and we're not talking about graphics and animation here. The
Luddites don't hold an inarguable stance.

I'm biased right now: Lately I've been writing software that deals
with ingesting text in different character sets. It's not that hard,
or even if it is hard it's mostly already been solved. I'll complain
along with many others here about the horrors of HTML in email, but I
thought we'd have moved beyond problems with character sets by now.

Sorry, I realized that after sending my message. I hope you can still
see my point in the context of the broader discussion.
