Sorry for the delay, its been "in the queue".

The output type is matched compile time to Python's Py_UNICODE type. The 
extension itself is 4Suite's cDomlette extension, which layers an Infoset 
(DOM-like) on top of the raw Expat callbacks. It has been in production for a 
very long time without issue, so I would call it quite stable.
