This should not be a problem: that's what we have the \DDD notation for. (See 
the list toward the end of Section 5.1 of RFC 1035.)

It does not. You truly don't want to deal with byte sequences that are not 
allowed in the various encodings of Unicode. Specifying the names in a format 
that DNS folks recognize (ASCII and \DDD) should suffice for someone looking at 
the registry. If they have a further question, there is a link to the 
specification.
