Where I ended up with this was to say that extended Latin without the
parenthetical ASCII equivalent is ok in company names. It is not (yet)
OK for person names. This is me being conservative and wanting to be
absolutely clear re: person names, which allowing a bit of
experimentation with company names. I recognize that other publishers
don't treat this kind of thing the same way. We will adapt over time as
technology evolves and this guidance re: using nonASCII characters in
RFCs will almost certainly evolve too.

The characters must work for more than just browsers, and I'm having
rather mixed results with text readers for even extended latin characters.
