In what way is it too strict? What would be the advantage of making it
less so?

Translating characters is already done in translation phase 1:
Physical source file multibyte characters are mapped, in an
implementation-defined manner, to the source character set
(introducing new-line characters for end-of-line indicators) if
necessary.
(In many implementations, that translation is trivial.) Translating
tokens is another matter. If an implementation translates "si" to
"if", what happens if I use "si" as an identifier?
I am admittedly fortunate in that most language keywords happen to be
in, or are derived from, my native language. I wonder how much demand
there really is among non-English programmers for non-English keywords.
(I've seen at least one language with Portuguese keywords, but it seems
to be a niche language.)
