Some of those parameters define a length. This is a length in octets and
not in (multi-byte) characters.
I would like to be able to place some links to commands like SILENCE,
USERIP, CPRIVMSG, CNOTICE, KNOCK, and others. Whatever may be useful to
client authors. They don't seem to put any documentation online.
Some older version of this document said CHARMAPPING instead of
CASEMAPPING. This was an error and has been corrected.
CHARSET has been removed. See the draft for explanation.
