immediately (historically, most browsers defaulted to latin1 in western
languages), and some people still use browsers from a few years ago. I
don't know exactly what's the current status. We need to check how
mainstream browsers react to an URL like "http://localhost/how-to-brew-
café/" before proceeding: do they properly utf-8-encode and percent-encode
it?

Well, why should we fear of browser incompatibility to pre-2005 standards
in Django to be released in 2011/2012?
Django 1.0 to 1.3 do not allow utf8 in slug, but world is changing. If
RFC3986 was approved in 2005, then django have to comply it.
I am sorry if my tone seems not friendly. English is not my native
language, but I am definitely do not want to offense anybody. I am just
trying to solve the problem and communicate in the most effecient way
without formal shell. Peace!
