   Seems like "I Gotcha!". :D

   I think, if I don't receive a response from the original authors
within a day or two, I'll take up the (tedious) task of making I-D and
putting it up. Not quite sure how long does it take for final
approval... :-?

   Not ignoring it. It's just that it's a new one.. and I hadn't
noticed it. Jan-2005: very recent.

   I think my new dict: scheme may break the old one. But that should be ok.
   The new scheme will make it live longer... and across versions:
making a little more generic and extensive. :-)

  I agree. :D
  However, at this point, I give the server "MAY" status for the
various charsets. "MUST" will be only with UTF-8 and MIME. It can be
debated upon once I put up I-D.
