This patch deactivate the ASCII characters check. It's maybe more like a temporary fix and I think it would be nicer to
adjust the check to support Unicode characters instead to deactivate the
check.
Maybe the name of the routine should also be changed to something other than
validateascii(). But I'm curious why that check was put in there.
I found this in rfc5661 section 22.1, which seems to be a bug in the spec:
1. A US-ASCII string name that is the actual name of the attribute.
This name must be unique. This string name can be 1 to 128 UTF-8
characters long.
