    Yeah, I know... smart apple.

    Well, we're already doing this to some extent; baby steps.  Well, we 
have open document standards (evolving) and we have a really good sense 
for unicode (and python is being a genuine leader there) and the 
flat-file is just another open document (very simple no doubt), not 
different from a standards viewpoint than rft, odt, {whatever}; txt?

    My idea is that as we are morphing open document standards we need 
to keep the "flat-file" in mind too.  The ASCII ship has sailed too. 
Unicode is in, ASCII is out (for all intents and purposes) except at 
Microsoft---and its time to rethink what a "flat" unicode text file 
really is. That's all.
