(Get the code!)
I would think, depending on the initial language selection, the ascii only should change according to typical naming characteristics of that specific language. So for English no accents/etc would be allowed but for French names including ç and the like should be allowable.
Although that would require some backend work for all of the languages that are supported by ubuntu.
Personally, I see nothing wrong with only allowing ascii in a username as that is how the entire world signs up for online sites, using ascii...
No sense trying to fix something that is so unimportant in the grande scheme of things.
