Life is good in Brazil :) Certainly I personally agree that use of 
ascii-only characters in logins is good practice.

But long ago when some version of windows was localized for using 
russian language where required 'Administrator' user people who did 
localization translated that predefined login to russian. With this 
Pandora's box was opened. Luckily that russian names for users (also 
computers, domains, etc.) are not case-sensitive. And when people want 
to grant some role to user name, coming from windows trusted 
authentication, people expect us to follow that rule. They just do not 
understand why should russian names differ in any way from ascii one.
