Benoit:

In Section 2.7, the <author> element has three new attributes:

2.7.1.  "asciiFullname" Attribute

    The ASCII equivalent of the author's full name.

2.7.2.  "asciiInitials" Attribute

    The ASCII equivalent of the author's initials, to be used in
    conjunction with the separately specified asciiSurname.

2.7.3.  "asciiSurname" Attribute

    The ASCII equivalent of the author's surname, to be used in
    conjunction with the separately specified asciiInitials.

Do these not meet your concern? Or is your concern that the RFC Editor 
might not enforce the use of those attributes?
