Agreed. I think the original decision to be very restrictive was due to general concerns about moving away from .txt as the primary format. How π, still less emojis, will be rendered in ASCII remains an issue, but just as RFC1119 worked out fine, I think we should get over the fact that some (or most) future RFCs simply won't work in .txt.
