&gt; Richelieu: 
&gt; | The MUD should _not_ allow non-glyph non-space characters in its input.  
&gt; 
&gt; More precisely, muds should default to cooked mode for network I/O,
&gt; users should have to explicitly select raw 8-bit I/O if they want it.

	Point.  IMHO, the mud should not allow a random user to send a
random non-printable string to a random other user.  The simplest way
of doing this is to not allowing sending them at all, sufficient for
TinyMUD, insufficient for something more general like ColdMUD.
