[XML-SIG] unicode

Thanks, Fred.

That URL for cStringIO didn't work.  I found it here:

  cStringIO does not accept Unicode; this is a known and documented
limitation.  Adding "proper" support for Unicode in cStringIO is on my
list, but at a fairly low priority:

  The documentation is available at:
