Nowadays, I'd assume that every other newsreader out there is
going to either support the full range of charsets, whether
encoded or not, or to have little to no MIME support whatsoever.
Thus, the issue is rather the RFCs' failure to document the
existing practice, and not some incompliance. (Even though
unencoded data in general may clash with the NNTP provision that
any non-ASCII data transferred should be in UTF-8.)
But the whole point is moot, as "7bit" ISO-8859-1 is just a
fancy name for ASCII, which is valid since well before MIME.
