As the Internet exponentially expands—often in ways we're not always able to posit ahead of time—the base of developers exponentially expands. The IETF shouldn't be sanguine about the possibility that at some point the number of those developers who do not speak English will reach a critical mass that is able to start eschewing protocols that it finds too mired in US-ASCII. I would ask anybody who would say it could never happen how sure they are of that assertion. Thanks, Stan
