It sounds like you're in favor of the treat-as-ASCII rule then.  I've certainly written code that would have benefited from this behavior too, I just want to make sure there's no lurking downside before making the change.

The problem is server-side (at least for the moment).  json.serialize() will do something if you give it a unicode string, but it will usually not be the correct thing.  This is fixable, someone just needs to get around to it.
