I had, in the past year, two different DNSEXT participants send me
frustrated email because of the idnits checks. The people in question
were both long-time contributors to the IETF with perhaps
ideosyncratic toolchains. Neither of them was using xml2rfc, and
neither of them had well-maintained *roff templates that just did the
right thing.
While I recently spent a few extra hour editing nroff source, a
solution for those who are less familiar with nroff is to provide
an official nroff template.
Anyway, it's an issue caused by complex legal requirements and
the fundamental solution is to loosen the requirements at least
for IDs.
With regard to the subject, introduction of non-ASCII characters
will make the matter a lot worse.
