This is a discussion for rfc-interest, not for xml2rfc. If the RFC Editor allows putting non-ASCII characters in RFCs, it is safe to assume that the xml2rfc tool will be updated to allow that. If the RFC Editor does not allow that, it makes little sense to allow it in Internet Drafts that are intended to become RFCs.

Just because you are punching from the side instead of going through the top, that doesn't change the fact that you are re-opening the can of worms. (I say this as someone who has advocated for what you want in the past, doing so with Internet Drafts, not just questions on mailing lists.)
