sm re-enforced the point that EAI is for addresses, so it would make
sense there is no such plan.

actually http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-melnikov-smtp-lang-07 is more
along the lines I was thinking, but from what I read so far, much more
extensive that I was thinking. It is basically incorporating gettext

my first reaction to UTF8SMTP was "cool, now we can enter modern times
with SMTP being fully 8-bit and Unicode enabled." As for it having a
more positive reception, I can't really say. But if it isn't out there,
we'll never know.
