I really wish the HTTP WG would take some hints from this RFC work and finally get the message that straightforward UTF-8 is the way to go (we all knew that ages ago, anyway).

If we had a magic wand and could start over, perhaps. As it is, there is software that assumes a character set for HTTP headers, and putting UTF-8 through it would cause problems.
