RFC 5322 mentions MIME extensions a few times, e.g. in section 2.1:
Note: This document specifies that messages are made up of
characters in the US-ASCII range of 1 through 127. There are
other documents, specifically the MIME document series ([RFC2045],
[RFC2046], [RFC2047], [RFC2049], [RFC4288], [RFC4289]), that
extend this specification to allow for values outside of that
range. Discussion of those mechanisms is not within the scope of
this specification.
I'm not a MIME expert, but I thought that MIME had been designed to be
transparent to old software. Although it seems correct to mention
MIME, as it provides further structure, the specs that actually break
US-ASCII are RFC 1652 and possibly RFC 5336. What am I missing?
