I think only basic Latin characters should be accepted.
Though I understand the reasoning behind this question, as in a Turkish locale a lowercase transliteration of "I" U+0049 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I results in "ı" U+0131 LATIN SMALL LETTER DOTLESS I and an uppercase transliteration of "i" U+0069 LATIN SMALL LETTER I results in "İ" U+0130 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DOT ABOVE. An implementation can't use a localized uppercase/lowercase function for case insensitivity.

The accepted characters are:
U+004D  "M"  LATIN CAPITAL LETTER M
U+0044  "D"  LATIN CAPITAL LETTER D
U+0043  "C"  LATIN CAPITAL LETTER C
U+004C  "L"  LATIN CAPITAL LETTER L
U+0058  "X"  LATIN CAPITAL LETTER X
U+0056  "V"  LATIN CAPITAL LETTER V
U+0049  "I"  LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I
U+006D  "m"  LATIN SMALL LETTER M
U+0064  "d"  LATIN SMALL LETTER D
U+0063  "c"  LATIN SMALL LETTER C
U+006C  "l"  LATIN SMALL LETTER L
U+0078  "x"  LATIN SMALL LETTER X
U+0076  "v"  LATIN SMALL LETTER V
U+0069  "i"  LATIN SMALL LETTER I

PROPOSE-RESOLVED
