I have not said that Unicode defines what is plain-text. It is defined in
RFC describing the MIME type and giving the name "plain text".

This is not a definition, or just a mere definition of "Unicode plain text"
(i.e. more restrictive than "plain text"). Please don't add
restriction/qualifying words ("Unicode") that I did not use in my sentence
**on purpose**.

Plain text has been defined much longer before Unicode wrote its
informative glossary.
