I have no problem with non-ASCII module identifiers being valid syntax. It's a question of whether attempting to translate a non-ASCII module name into a file name (so the file can be imported) is a good idea and whether these sorts of files can be safely transferred among diverse filesystems. For similar reasons we tend to avoid capital letters in module names.
