Comment(by matt):

 Part of the reason for being conservative in those functions when they
 were written is that we had security issues in the past with characters
 allowing for header splitting when included with redirects, and probably
 an assumption that all i18n stuff would be encoded and compatible with our
 current methods. Any fix for this should look at all the security
 implications.
