Thanks|NNS for|IN your|PRP$ comments|NNS .|. 
You|PRP need|MD n't|RB convince|VB me|PRP ;|: I|PRP 've|VBP been|VBN involved|VBN with|IN the|DT MIME|NNP charset|NN issue|NN for|IN a|DT long|JJ time|NN (|( you|PRP 'll|MD note|VB that|IN I|PRP am|VBP one|CD of|IN the|DT authors|NNS of|IN the|DT ISO-|NNP 2022|CD -|: JP|NNP spec|NN )|) .|. 
In|IN defense|NN of|IN the|DT other|JJ Pine|NNP team|NN members|NNS ,|, the|DT sin|NN is|VBZ one|CD of|IN omission|NN rather|RB than|IN of|IN comission|NN ;|: they|PRP wanted|VBD to|TO do|VB something|NN about|IN character|NN sets|NNS and|CC did|VBD n't|RB want|VB to|TO wire|VB in|IN a|DT table|NN of|IN legal|JJ values|NNS (|( since|IN it|PRP might|MD change|VB )|) .|. 
I|PRP 've|VBP suggested|VBN that|IN as|IN a|DT first|JJ pass|NN the|DT charset|NN should|MD only|RB be|VB settable|JJ in|IN the|DT system|NN config|NN file|NN ,|, and|CC that|IN the|DT charset|NN always|RB be|VB coerced|JJ to|TO US-ASCII|NNP unless|IN the|DT text|NN contains|VBZ 8|CD -|: bit|NN characters|NNS and|CC /|NN or|CC has|VBZ `|`` `|`` funny|JJ '|'' '|POS control|NN characters|NNS such|JJ as|IN ESC|NNP or|CC SI|NNP /|NN SO|NNP .|. 
More|JJR work|NN would|MD definitely|RB be|VB needed|VBN in|IN this|DT area|NN ,|, but|CC you|PRP 'll|MD appreciate|VB that|IN there|EX are|VBP other|JJ ,|, higher|JJR priorities|NNS just|RB now|RB ...|...
