Sorta concur, although if we're not going to forbid RFC 3164
timestamps, perhaps we should mention their grave defects (no year,
no timezone) to motivate people to make the Right choice:-).

Disagree; if we're not going to prohibit anything outside of
US-ASCII, I think we should briefly discuss charset issues in a
Security Considerations section. If MSG is guaranteed 8bit clean
transport, and implementors don't consider charset issues, there
_Will_ be security consequences.
