This is not about the IETF.

If I buy a Mercedes, I want to get a car built by Daimler-Benz.
If people send me JSON, I want to get JSON (the UTF-8 form that everyone uses).

Now, there are other areas where, say, Mercedes is a woman’s name.  There might even be a restaurant called “Mercedes’ kitchen".  The objective cannot be that women or their restaurants no longer be called Mercedes (that the use of UTF-16 encoded JSON in C# or JavaScript becomes illegal).  It’s just when you sell a car as a Mercedes (send me an object as JSON), I want to get a Mercedes (JSON).

Consult a trade mark lawyer if that wasn’t clear :-)
