I tried a few times with ISO-8859-15 stuff in the biographical details and 
contact address.

P.S. I'm still quite amused by the Py3K Unicode enthusiasm, especially when 
it's from the Django people, some of whom were pretty late to the Unicode

slip-up recently, though: I forgot to tell PostgreSQL to be a full Unicode 
citizen...
