I don't think it does the right job.

In what way?  I went through checking for such problems long ago.  I
doubtless missed some, and maybe some have been added since, but they
should be easy to fix.  (Emacs 21 only -- I don't know how you'd do it
properly in XEmacs.)

The spirit of the RFC and examples seem to suggest unquoting the
string, encoding it, and (perhaps) re-quoting encoded word sequences
on decoding.  Is the correct behaviour really not explicitly specified
somewhere?
