Isn't universal newlines only used for reading?

That right. And the CSV reader has it's own version of univeral newlines anyway (from the py1.5 days).

I have had no problems using the csv module for reading files with universal newlines by opening the file myself or providing an iterator.

Neither have I, funnily enough.

Unicode, on the other hand, I have had problems with.

Ah, so somebody does want it then? Good to hear. Hard to get motivated to make radical changes without feedback.
