Since we are defining as-yet non-existant new semantics for
keywords, we
can do with them as we please.
The rules of MUTF7 are basically restrictions for MUTF7 in
mailbox names
which are astrings. We could remove those restrictions for
MUTF7 flags.
Granted, this is a mess; but it's a message to not break old
clients while
we move forward to UTF-8.
IMHO, UTF-8 flags should probably be astrings. Since
clients will have to
be updated anyway to use them, this wouldn't break
anything.
