Once we start using filters for l10n and when filters work on set 
actions (issue 322), then I have no doubt that unicode values for 
description attributes will be needed.  I agree with Dan that this 
should be fixed now.

Given our future plan to be able to run IPS within Jython as one of the 
options for portability support, I'm concerned about a mainline piece of 
client functionality that depends on C code. Can we at least have a 
failure branch on the import of _fromstr that provides a Python 
implementation of _fromstr.  That would also provide Python source code 
to represent what the C code is actually doing.

Thanks.
Tom
