I noticed that Wikipedia has readable URLs even for languages with non-western character sets (like Thai, [1]). In Plone, object ids in non-western character sets look like random ascii characters (maybe ascii tranlsations of UTF encoding) [2]. This is not a human-readable URL, which is something we say Plone does. If browsers are capable of reading non-ascii-encoded URLs, shouldn't we move to these? I thought i'd ask here first before creating a ticket. The benefit would extend to every European language except English [3], because of characters like ü, è, ó, ç, ò.
