I understand the question as "can we achieve interoperability with
other MUAs, yet avoid (MIME-)decoding a message every time we present
it?" The answer is "only if you're willing to destroy information"
for all MIME types except 'text/plain; charset=us-ascii'.
How do you reach that conclusion for text/html?
The first two RFCs establish the requirement
that mail shall be transmitted as plain ASCII text.[1] The rest
provide various conventions for how to serialize quite arbitrary
objects, from non-ASCII text to video clips to binary blobs, as plain
ASCII text.
HTML is made of plain ASCII text.
