Non-ASCII identifiers for usernames (not GUI names):
Currently, usernames can only consist of ASCII characters, but this poses a problem for email login. SMTPUTF8 allows email addresses with non-ASCII characters in the local part that cannot be converted using Punnycode or similar methods.
To protect existing systems, the default behavior for username validation could remain unchanged, and an opt-in option could allow usernames to be non-ASCII-compliant (as well as -bad-name in Linux user management).
