This not the problem. The interesting point is that they
are good and "less good" Unicode implementations.

The interesting point is that the Python 3.3 unicode implementation is
correct, that of most other languages is buggy. Or have I fallen
victim to the vicious propaganda of the various Pythonistas who
frequent this list?
Mark,
Thanks for asking this question.
It seems to me that jmf *might* be moving towards a vindicated
position. There is some interest now in duplicating, understanding and
(hopefully!) extending his test results, which can only be a Good Thing
- whatever the outcome and wherever the facepalm might land.
However, as you rightly point out, there is only value in following this
through if the functionality is (at least near) 100% correct. I am sure
there are some that will disagree but in most cases, functionality is
the primary requirement and poor performance can be managed initially
and fixed in due time.
