There was a period early on (Winter 1992 AE Registry) when various things
suddenly became International Text. (Including the direct object to
'misc'/'dosc') And then in the later 1992 updates to the Winter 1992
Registry (I'm hedging...memory not up to getting it right) they switched
back to text.
I wrote some handlers for Frontier which did the right thing during the
Winter 1992 aberration.
Then our favorite[1] Registrar was "released from active duty" and things
went rapidly down hill, including some left over "international text"
things which probably shouldn't have been itxt.
