I am investigating this bug:  https://bugs.launchpad.net/horizon/+bug/931667

I've started by passing various silly usernames into '$nova-manage 
create user' and immediately discovered that, for the user name at 
least, nova presumes that commandline args are in ascii rather than in 
utf-8.  That seems wrong!

Is there a policy document anyplace describing what encodings should be 
used in Nova?  If not, do we need one?  Otherwise, anytime we pull 
something off of the commandline or out of the database, we don't really 
know what we're getting.
