A main goal of the new URL rewrite system is to adhere as closely as possible to the RFCs. There will always be *some* restrictions, for security and because parts of the URL (application, controller, function) must be legal symbols in the file-system and/or Python namespace. And I'm not so sure about full internationalization, though support should be a lot better. The existing system is simply a lot more restrictive than the RFCs demand. That's good from the point of view of security and safety, but it also means that you run into the problems that you're seeing.
