I continue to be puzzled by statements like this.  A plain-text file
encoded in UTF-8 can contain any Unicode character that an HTML document
can contain.

Note that I am not arguing in favor of plain text as the IETF standard. 
I just want to keep this part of the discussion real.  There is no
requirement anywhere that plain-text files may contain only ASCII
characters.
