I don't think it really matters. In real life you want to do a little of 
both, if you care about catering to the varieties of broken 2047 
encoding that float around the net. I'd prefer wording that handwaves 
around all that.

FWIW, I also trim away some other things, which I wouldn't like to add 
to the document, e.g. outlookisms and phish vomit:

    To: "'tss at iki.fi'" <tss at iki.fi>
    From: "service at paypal.com" <fr432efa934 at hotmail.com>
