I agree with encoding non-Latin1 characters and disallowing non-ASCII
characters totally.

I found your patch includes fixes in *.svg files, so how about checking
also them by check-non-ascii? Also, I think it is better to use perl instead
of grep because non-GNU grep doesn't support hex escape sequences. I've attached
a updated patch for Makefile. The changes in release.sgml above is not applied
yet, though.
