Rather, they can propose what they want, but they have a lot of tough defending to do on their choice. Lack of potential harm is much harder to prove than coming up with a single example that harms. I'd rather leave the sleeping dog lie, if we need to encourage people to live in 21st century and step outside US-ASCII to do so, then do that instead.
