Um, there is a good argument to prohibit any character set which, when
interpreted as ASCII, contains control characters, CR, LF, etc.

I believe that UTF-8 does *not* have this problem.

There is also a good argument to prohibit any character set which is not
compatible with ASCII.

Again, I believe that UTF-8 does *not* have this problem.
