I *NEVER* said the latter, why do you keep bringing it up.

It is important that the documents remain clear and fully accurate when
NONE of the non-ASCII characters are rendered, so that those characters
do not impair discussions (ASCII-email and vocal) and neither impair
consumption (being rendered or printed on devices that do not support
non-ASCII).
