[Moin-user] non ASCII pagenames

For page content not in iso-8859-1 you maybe want to use unicode (and 
utf-8 as encoding). moinmaster wiki currently runs on moin 1.3 devel 
(AKA "bleeding edge") - you maybe want to do system and help page 
translation directly there (so we can use it without conversion).

For the URLs, only ASCII is allowed, so we MUST encode any strange 
character. We are currently working on making it a bit nicer, but don't 
expect to see special characters in there at every time. That work isn't 
finished yet. If it is, you will see it in moinmaster first, too.

You shouldn't change anything there without deep knowledge of moin - or 
you will potentially rather break it.
