[1] Actually, all the PEP says is "With this PEP, a uniform treatment of these data as characters becomes possible." An argument as to why this is a good thing would be a useful addition to the PEP. At the moment it's more or less treated as self-evident - which I agree with, but which clearly the Unix people here are not as certain of.

Ok, I have added another paragraph. Not sure whether it helps to clarify though.

Regards, Martin
