Right, but ... reality rears it's ugly head.
The address parser is a bunch of layers down. And it's used for a lot of
things. For example, stuff from .mh_profile can end up being parsed by
it. We'd have to change the internal API to indicate where an address is
coming from and I think we'd have to change it almost everywhere.
And then, to get back to my original point ... if we see an 8-bit
character that is not valid in the current character set, what, exactly,
should we do about it?
