That is pretty much standard IMAP mUTF-7. Wonder why that's not mentioned in there. But yeah, looks like it also suggests encoding the '.' and '/' using the mUTF-7 format. That is forbidden by IMAP. So having such names in the maildir and serving them to IMAP clients would actually violate the IMAP protocol.
