You mean for vCard 4 or for MIME?

For vCard 4, we felt that MIME came with a charset parameter and we had
no power to way "this parameter MUST NOT not be applied to vCard 4".
That's why we say instead that if it is used, then it MUST say UTF-8.

vCard 4 does not use a BOM. vCard 4 is always UTF-8, period.

We do not wish to "include" the charset parameter. If it is possible to
"exclude" it, that would make us happy.
