Note: It is BCP because it does not specify a standard that one can
test conformance to.

The rules by which the IETF operates are BCPs too.

I deliberately made this particular paragraph (not allowing protocols to 
specify that UTF-8 cannot be used) as draconian as I possibly
could, and the community (and the IESG) accepted that at the time.

But again - this particular group needs to figure out its requirements.
THEN we can see if UTF-8 is the Wrong, Right or Only solution.
