The fun part is that there isn't any standard RFC 1036 has expired,
and USEFOR does not even (officially) has an draft yet.
MIME is a mail standard, the only thing giving it meaning on news is
the USEFOR working paper. However, the USEFOR wp _does_ allow 8-bit
headers, however not in Latin 1, only in UTF-8. But try sending 8-bit
UTF-8 headers, I suspect the people demanding QP will complain even
more.
In reality, Usenet has for many years lived on a set of unwritten
conventions, drawing from bit and parts of many standards, but mostly
just common usage.
To be fair, moving towards QP in headers is the right thing to do, it
will allow us to phase the hierarchy specific 8-bit interpretation out
and (much later) UTF-8 in.
