[MFD] Internationalization Considerations for MFD Requirements document

[Ira McDonald]

Hi,

I suggest the following text:

"An MFD is a network device that frequently generates description and
status attributes
that contain human-readable text for Jobs and Services.  The design of
future Imaging
Services should require support for human-readable text in UTF-8 [RFC 3629].
The design of future Imaging Services should NOT allow or encourage
the use of any
other encoding for human-readable text, in order to improve interoperability."

Cheers,
- Ira
