Nick, really great job with your rewrite of PEP 414. I think you nailed it from the technical side while bringing some much needed balance to the social side. Not to diminish Armin's contribution to the PEP - after all this, I'm really glad he was able to bring it up and despite the heat of the discussion, get this resolved to his satisfaction. One factual omission: In the section on WSGI "native strings", you say * binary data: handled as str in Python 2 and bytes in Python 3 While true, this omits that binary data can *also* be handled as bytes in Python 2.6 and 2.7, where using `bytes` can be a more descriptive alias for `str`. If you can do it in a readable way within the context of that section I think it's worth mentioning this. Cheers, -Barry
