If I understand it correctly, UC does not take a stance one way or another.
It just maps characters to numbers and lets implementors work with it in
whatever way is best in their environment.
The advice you have received to go with UTF-8 rather than UTF-7 is sound as
nowadays 8-bit communications are the common thing. But if you are working
in a 7-bit environment (at least when communicating with other systems),
then, yes, you need to adjust accordingly.
