This is a recommendation, it does not mean that it is forbidden. But on Fedora, I'm unable to set a non-ASCII hostname. Arch Linux may be different.

Python should not fail with non-ASCII hostname, but I don't know which encoding should be used: ascii/surrogateescape (PEP 383)? the locale encoding + surrogateescape error handler?
