I was thinking that it should be stronger, and that bases > 36 should
ONLY allow national numeric characters in the alphabet, since the
"fallback" alphabet couldn't represent everything - i.e. add "base <= 36"
to "isascii() && isalpha()".

Ok.  Until there are national numeric characters > 36, I think we should
leave the restriction of base to <= 36 in place.
