Is it practical for you to encode it yourself to utf8?

Possible a better solution, long-term: define a function, call it ustr, either 
in html.py or in some utility file that does:

def ustr(s):
  if isinstance(s, str):
    return s
  if isinstance(s, unicode):
    return s.encode('utf8')
  return str(s)

I think it'd be a reasonable replacement for most (not all) of html.py's str() 
invocations.
