It could; we could have 8-bit-clean MSG, and let server implementations decide whether they need to quote CRLFs (which would of course corrupt these multibyte-charset thingies that can inadvertently introduce CRLFs) before writing to a file. We could even use a simple CRLF-delimited MSG and require that clients escape CR and LF in MSG before sending. But all this still begs the question, would a syslog-ish facility with US-ASCII HEADER contents being written to a text logfile be of interest to someone who is wanting to ship around these binary encoded messages that can contain CRLF? If not, then we don't solve a problem by engineering to make such MSGs possible. -Bennett
