Subject: [EAI] Random thought on ASCII range

Random thought:  Unicode calls 00-7F “C0 Controls and Basic Latin.”  Given that the C0 Controls are pretty much illegal in email addresses, we could shorten that to “Basic Latin”, which isn’t terribly wordy, and evades the question of whether we mean the ASCII set of characters U+0000-U+007f or the encoding.
