You're right, I should have said ...
- Technical: Historically UTF-7 _printable_ US/NIST ASCII (again, circa '86) -- _hereafter_ merely referred to as UTF-7
I think the rest of this became an issue with my using an abbreviation (UTF-7) after defining it (UTF-7 printable US/NIST ASCII) without adding that last bit. I was also _never_ arguing for/against anything, but what _others_ keep bringing up, that could be 'better clarified' in the theory file.
We use "Rome" rather than "Roma" because we want "mainstream English spelling".
Correct, and people keep bringing up why that should be changed. But, again, if we look at changing things, then we're opening up a huge hole because it will no longer be about just UTF-7. That's the point I was making. That's all. ;)
