I'm not switching back and forth at all.  I'm positing both at once.

Thats what I mean. How is it different to convert an RFC2047 tag into a
string of ? characters?

Can you explain this?  If the same glyph represents different characters
in Chinese, Korean, and Japanese, how is it that Explorer knows which
one the glyph is?  If you can explain that, and it doesn't involve
embedding html, my objections to straight UTF-8 will be withdrawn.
