--- Comment #4 from V Stuart Foote <vsfoote at libreoffice.org> ---
Unlike the Unicode 'Basic Latin' block, referring to ASCII is a problem as
non-standard Extended-ASCII and localized 8-bit character mappings remain
prevalent. 

And also utf-8 is broken for password entry as noted in bug 50400--that our
SfxPasswordDialog::AllowAsciiOnly() used in pw dialogs exclusively validates
the 7-bit 128 character ASCII code set.

That is what needs to be conveyed.

Make that "Only Unicode 'Basic Latin' (a.k.a ASCII) characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9
and the most common punctuation marks) can be entered"
