The point is to make them as ASCII as possible, but if you've got readable garbage that you want to log, it should be readable. People who lack the fonts or whatever wouldn't be able to read it anyway; people who can will be able to convert the UTF-8 to something they can use.
If the garbage doesn't seem to be readable (eg, naked 8-bit crap in the headers) then it should be BASE64'd in the logs.
