[XML-SIG] Python 1.6a2 Unicode experiences?

[Andrew Kuchling]

Has anyone here tried to use the new Unicode support in Python 1.6a2?
The XML-SIG's readership seems likely to have a use for Unicode, so
perhaps people here have tried the new code.

I'm asking because there are lengthy debates about the 1.6a2 Unicode
support on the python-dev list at the moment, and I thought that
hearing from actual users would be helpful in resolving the issues.
