To some extent that's true for me as well. But it is an important
distinction. One of the reasons to require ASCII is because you can
use "any old text editor" to fix the config file if you need to. It is
not the case that "any old text editor" can edit unicode; I don't
think Windows notepad can. Emacs can, sometimes, if you're lucky and
the moon is blue :).
