Reworded, a very good reason to limit the standard library itself to ASCII APIs is the same reason we limit the library to (a restricted subset of) U.S. English. We do not all share a common first language or recognize the same characters, but these are reasonable common denominators with historical precedent in computer science *and* reasonably wide international recognition.
