Well, it does seem to boil down to what Junio already got to:

 - 0-31 and 127 are never in text, except for BEL, BS, HT, LF, FF, CR and 
   ESC.
 - 128-255 can all be in either iso-8859 or extended ascii (or they 
   explicitly add NEL but not 128+27 to "normal ASCII", which is strange)

So they've effectively added BEL and ESC to the listof characters that 
Junio has now. But they also make it an absolute error to have anything 
else (no "1% rule").

But they also do the filename tests, and I think that's more important in 
many ways.
