Validating them all at the same time might be, but localizing a website to cater to different alphabets or languages is doable. When I have to validate against Spanish rules, I don't cower in fear of kanji or arabic, I simply validate alphanumeric characters for my language, such as á, é, ñ, etc. After all, \w in Perl (or the equivalent regex entity for a word) is localized, IIRC.
