I would like to cast my vote against this proposal. Not only do I admire Sam's dedication to the RFC's, I also support it.
I say, go ahead and encapsulate. Sam bypasses RFCs when it suits him - the recent calendaring discussions make that clear. I'm sick of getting dropped from mailing lists because Joe User in Podunk has a bad email client that generated a bounce that the list software took personally.
You're in apples and oranges territory comparing the calendar with bogus 8bit headers. The calendar Sam's making doesn't claim any standards compliance or dependancy on other software being compliant to any standard. SMTP on the other hand is a widely abused standard that more developers writing smtp software should invest the time in understanding. Every smtp mail delivery relies on both hosts speaking the same lingo, and if somoene sending mail can't figure out how to do it, its good that they should be informed when they make a mistake. After all, what might they do next?
