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.

That requirement is explicit for RFCs.

It is explicit for RFCs, but not for plain-text files in general. IETF could theoretically change the RFC requirement, although you are correct that given the non-acceptance of draft-hoffman-utf8-rfcs, it seems unlikely. The topic did come up again on the list, with the usual conflation of "ASCII" and "plain text."
