Why drastically a technology from the lowest common denominator when it
works so well? Example: Can openers. Electric ones tend to wear out
every few years and don't work reliably in emergencies when access to
nonperishable food is a critical need (HTML, lines greater than 80
columns, TMDA, etc fall into this catagory for email).

Better throw out ISO-8859 as well. Those all came about in the
mid-1980s. Time to ditch ISO-9660 CDROMs as well, after all we've
been using the same standard for writing data CDROMs since 1988.
