I should think that actual implementations will not, in most cases,
have access to variable names in the underlying programming language,
but will accept a map/hash/dictionary containing name-value pairs.
It's not much of a restriction to require these names to be ASCII
(I realize I'm being a Neanderthal here), and it makes it easy to
explain the character repertoire of URI Templates:  ASCII in, ASCII out.

I must confess that I have very little notion of what [s. 4 of the British
Trade Marks Act, 1938] is intended to convey, and particularly the sentence
of 253 words, as I make them, which constitutes sub-section 1.  I doubt if
the entire statute book could be successfully searched for a sentence of
equal length which is of more fuliginous obscurity. --MacKinnon LJ, 1940
