ASCII 127 is the DEL (non printable)

I also doubt that 128-255 is part of us-ascii. us-ascii is only 7 bit not 8 
bit. The semantic of the upper 128-255 was always vendor specific and is 
partly the cause for the codepage mess.

In order to avoid any issues I really would like to prefer a well defined 
character class in the specification. 

So why is my proposed character class not sufficient?
