I see the problem, just not sure how to fix it. Steve W. provided some 
possibilities but that's probably not the only approach. It would be helpful if 
some interested person(s) got together and drafted an RFC. I think the devs 
would be in a position to help define implementation details if the problem is 
well defined along with a proposed solution.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Validation beyond [A-z]

Hi,

Validation is nowadays needed in quite a many places in a mapfile.  However, we 
who live outside the English speaking world tend to have more characters in the 
alphabet than A to Z.  This makes the mapfile validation idea only half 
effective because for making things to work at all with the native data we must 
accept almost everything that is non-numeric with wildcards. Are there others 
who think that this is a problem?
