I've gotten some additional test data on the behavior of Windows EAP 
supplicants with respect to NAI internationalization. 
If the Windows version is XP-SP2 or below the NAI is sent in ANSI.  This is 
what Stefan was observing. 

If the Windows version is XP-SP3 or Vista SP1, the NAI is encoded in UTF-8 for 
the WLAN EAP supplicant, but remains ANSI for the PPP EAP supplicant (includes 
dialup as well as VPN (PPTP/L2TP/SSTP)).  This is because the WLAN EAP 
supplicant is a newer code base (EAPHOST), and the PPP EAP supplicant utilizes 
an older code base (Windows 2000 EAP supplicant). 
Going forward, the NAI will be sent in UTF-8 for all EAP supplicants, since all 
supplicants will be based on EAPHOST.
