I think that because this adds new protocol UTF8SMTP, it does not
need update RFC 2822.


Also RFC 2045 (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) Part One:
Format of Internet Message Bodies) does not update RFC 822.

Also RFC 1652 (MTP Service Extension for 8bit-MIMEtransport) does
not update RFC 821.


I think that this is same situation.  That is just new protocol.
