POLL: Is the new text in Abstract section in RFC5335bis good to replace the original?
(Poll result also logged at issue tracker http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/eai/trac/ticket/8)

RESULT: Ned suggested new text and we got several people from the WG considered it good.  The WG will use the following text as follow.

Abstract

   Internet mail was originally limited to 7-bit ASCII.  Recent
   enhancements support Unicode's UTF-8 encoding in portions of a
   message.  Full internationalization of electronic mail requires
   additional enhancement, including support for UTF-8 in user-oriented
   header fields, such as in the To, From, and Subject fields.  This document 
   specifies an enhancement to Internet mail that permits native UTF-8 
   support in envlope address, message header and MIME header fields.

Regards,
Joseph
