Mihai,
It does make sense to document this limit for people writing subclasses, or using a Turkic codeset. I'm not sure that logging is the right place to document it, and I don't think changing the base classes is a good idea.
TimedRotatingFileHandler and HTTPHandler restrict their input to a tiny subset of ASCII; anything that would be handled differently after these changes will already raise a ValueError unless you subclass.
Even SysLogHandler.emit doesn't actually print the string; it is only used as a lookup key for a dictionary whose keys are all lower-case ASCII. In theory, you could monkey-patch that dictionary to add additional values, but then you might as well subclass to do the right thing with your new keys. (It might make sense to change the base function and dictionary to accept unicode, including undotted-i synonyms.)
