Well, for one thing code written to use unicode identifiers will immediately be limited to running on PHP 6 installs. While code using ASCII identifier with standard "compat" layer could run just fine. Another reason to only allow ASCII is that now code can be read by anyone rather then just the people who are familiar with the particular language user. Heck, some editors do not even allow utf-8 or properly render some high-ascii chars making those scripts difficult if not impossible to edit.
