On a side note, there are quite a number of standard words in English that come
from other languages and that require non ascii characters. So I guess if
limiting comments to English is OK, enforcing a limit to (the printable
characters subset of) ascii on comments could be short-sighted (even if
realistically, there should be few comments including "résumé" or "élite" etc.)
Also, regarding limitations to ascii in comments for Lisp and C (as referred to
earlier), I just checked the 2005 committee draft for ISO/IEC 9899 as well as
ANSI X3.226-1994 and I could not find anything of the sort. I'm not used to
read specs so I may have missed something though.
And to reply to Alexis, it is a language spoken by 4000 people on a small
island East of New Guinea: Rokotas.
