I dont think having multilingual email addresses would cause ASCII addresses
to stop working...
Afterall, English, or whatever langauges that ASCII is capable of
representing, is part of the "internationalized" space :-)

Why do you see a need to specifically "highlight" this?  Are you saying that
there is a "need" to allow the management/access of multilingual addresses
using ASCII?
