One thing I vaguely remember in related documents from around 2013 was
that Unicode in the document text and in any person/organization names

stand? Because in this RFC the Acknowledgements section does not
provide a backup spelling for Martin Dürst. Not a big issue, just
curious.
I think the ASCII backup rule is for authors, because these need to be
cross-linked with older RFCs,... For the Acks section, it's not that big
a deal for Latin characters. Serious publications such as from the ACM
or the IEEE since ages don't use fallbacks for Latin characters at all
even for authors. It would be different for Greek, Chinese, Arabic,...
names.

"Person names may appear in several places within an RFC (e.g., the
header, Acknowledgements, and References). When a script outside the
Unicode Latin blocks [UNICODE-CHART] is used for an individual name, an
author-provided, ASCII-only identifier will appear immediately after the
non-Latin characters, surrounded by parentheses. This will improve
general readability of the text." --
