I've completed another revision to All About Python and Unicode. Please check it out and let me know if you think I've made it worse. :-)

Changes in this version:

• Rewrote introduction, to walk through the evolution from ASCII to Unicode
• Simplified section "A Wrinkle in \U". I hope this is clearer now, it seems to have caused some confusion before.
• Added a section "Python as universal recoder"
• Incorporated user comments into the Mac OS/X section.
