Oh yeah, definitely I only do the validation on username selection, not when e.g. logging in a user or resolving webfinger. 

But PRECIS is … precisely such a specification. Maybe not the best way to do it, I think @aumetra has a different approach based on unicode classes or something

@Profpatsch @jdlh @hongminhee @liaizon @Edent @north @aumetra Have you considered publishing a FEP about this?

I have considered publishing an FEP about #GloballyInclusiveHandles . At FediForum six months ago I got the advice to write three:
1. Advocating for #GloballyInclusive handles and laying out requirements and issues
2. Explaining prior art from #Unicode technical annexes on domain names and identifiers, #ICANN label generation rules for DNS, #UniversalAcceptance, email addresses, etc.
3. Advocating for linkification of globally inclusive handles and layout out requirements and issues. 
Do those sound like good FEPs to write at this point?
