My pc has name in Russian. Russian domain names are not displayed in the client 
status list (see http://files.mail.ru/550F32875D9A4E1387E959176B69C8A4)

I think that naming a PC with Cyrillic encoding is a bad practice because not 
all OSes understand that.

+1 ;) furthermore, cyrillic not UTF-8 encoded!

I agree with you, however, is it possible to fix that? Maybe add something like 
'default name encoding' option?

I think this is not a bag.
You may read also

http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1035.txt
"...For all parts of the DNS that are part of the official protocol, all
comparisons between character strings (e.g., labels, domain names, etc.)
are done in a case-insensitive manner.  At present, this rule is in
force throughout the domain system without exception.  However, future
additions beyond current usage may need to use the full binary octet
capabilities in names, so attempts to store domain names in 7-bit ASCII
or use of special bytes to terminate labels, etc., should be avoided..."

Ok, so this seems to be the Microsoft-specific case as it's allowed to have the 
pc name in russian on Windows.

Aha, i see, but how does the russian domains, like 
http://президент.рф/ work then?
