Most of humanity doesn't use XML, so that's silly.

And for the rest of us that do, *many* don't use it for textual data,
but merely as a standard structured way of representing simple non-Unicode
data, and for that pyRXP is intended to be quite suitable.

For those who need non-ASCII input, pyRXP is clearly documented as
being unsuitable.
