More than 90% of the text is still readable if your usenet client only displays ASCII.

In the anglophone world people get easily to think ASCII is sufficient, but in a
global world even 16-bit Unicode (Basic Multilingual Plane) is not.

Some languages use UCS-16 internally, and it is not enough for all uses and users.

So UTF-8 is THE solution. There must be some progress sometime. ASCII, 7-bit
encodings and octal are left behind.
