I forgot to put this:
  If some poor email recipient finds his MUA cannot parse "message/utf8smtp",
  he "view-source"s it and tries google "utf8smtp" and found new RFC with such title had been issued.
  He will go his MUA official homepage and find new utf8smtp-compliant version has come out.

If [utf8smtp] draft be issued  "RFC4xxx", Then "message/rfc4xxx" is okay to me as an alias to the above
one. This naming pattern is consistent with that of "message/rfc2822".
