Are we quite certain this doesn't cause other problems?  We deliberately
stuck to ASCII because anything more general can cause problems with
local-network-type services - things like NIS and Samba.

There is certainly no reason to allow just ASCII and Cyrillic and
nothing else; it should be ASCII or a rather more complete Unicode
range.  But I'm sceptical because I suspect this will trigger bugs
elsewhere.  If we do anything like this, it should be accompanied with
some kind of UI warning that using non-ASCII characters may cause
compatibility issues.
