It's interesting to hear about here anyway.

I'm glad to hear that you'll try being more clear with how unicode works 
for the Python 2.x version of lxml too. I think this is similar to the 
way the migration path enables this for plain Python code in Python 2.6.

I do hope that lxml for Python 2.x can be maintained and extended for 
the forseeable future though; I'm sitting on a vast mountain of 
codebases that aren't going to Python 3.x in a hurry.

Regards,

Martijn
