| I agree in principle. However, just allowing to call feed with a
| Unicode object is too permissive: What if you had previously called it

Good point. One should have to stick to either Unicode or byte strings
throughout a single parse.

Looking at the code I think it makes sense to require client code to
also be consistent in its use of the 'decoded' flag. That is, decoded
should always have the same value throughout an entire parse.

It is allowed now, since I've committed my change.

| sensible).

I agree.

I am working on the modification now and will commit it shortly.
