I support Jari's discuss but trust him to hold it for resolution.

The document makes a lot of recommendations (45) and while many are
excellent, I'm dubious they'll all be followed in practice.  I commend
the authors for considering user interface issues seriously in the
requirements.  The IETF has a track record of under-specifying
user-interface considerations and that has resulted in less successful
protocols.  However, some of those should perhaps be treated as
"considerations" rather than requirements.

The acronym expansion for "UTF-8" is incorrect.  It should be:
 UCS/Unicode Transformation Format

This requirement:
   R13: A ToIP service MUST be able to deal with international character
  sets.
is incorrectly worded as only one character set is mandated (Unicode).
One possible re-wording would be "A ToIP service MUST comply with the character set policy in RFC 2277."  But other approaches also work.

An informative reference to draft-klensin-net-utf8 may pick up some
issues with interoperability and text canonicalization that may not
be covered in ITU-T T.140.  However, as I haven't read ITU-T T.140
I can't say how consistent the other advice would be.

I don't think this document should describe itself as a framework - it has lots of requirements many of which I think are excellent, but it is lacking something that could be considered a complete frameworks for real time text. It makes recommendations well outside the scope of the sipping charter - many of which I doubt more than a very small handful of people have read. I'll poke on section 6.2.4.4 as one specific example.
