XML-RPC strings are Unicode, although you can try really really hard to
subvert that.

Also I failed to mention that SQLite only does strings as Unicode.
Again you have to try quite hard to subvert that as you noticed :-)

My advice would be to use Unicode everywhere and only dumb down to old
school strings where the components don't support Unicode.  You will
then need to do codeset conversion at that boundary and may be able to
use UTF8 as the codeset.
