The problem is that it uses character sets other than ASCII and Unicode. This is a serious burden, since it essentially requires that every application in the world maintain character set conversion tables. Actually, it's worse than that; it uses charsets which are even more disgusting than character sets. It is alright to encode 8 in 7. I have no problem with that part of it. The problem is the idea of expanding the broken idea of charsets to yet another place where it doesn't belong. Language is also good. The problem is only in the contination of charsets, which is against the recommendation in the first paragraph of section 8.2 of RFC 2130.
