If someone comes up with a new scheme next week, it would be not-all-that-nice to have two libraries called mime-header-encoding.el (or whatever). By clearly stating what each library does (rfc2047.el encodes according to that RFC), there's less possibility of confusion. I think. The 1522/2047 thing is almost purely a cosmetic change, so if rfc1522.el has already existed, rfc2047.el wouldn't have been written. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi(a)ifi.uio.no * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
