6234	"Serialization with JSON and UTF-8, ""ensure_ascii=False"" invalid now?"	aaron@…	nobody	"The bottom of page:
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/serialization/

says for JSON you should specify:
ensure_ascii=False

This appears not to be the case, as latest trunk actually generates an exception when a unicode character is hit with ""ensure_ascii=False"".  This seems to be two problems depending on your perspective, but I'm not sure how to tackle this.
(1) Removing the ensure_ascii parameter allows the serializer to generate UTF-8 encoded characters. (consequence of UTF-8 branch merge?)
(2) Documentation tells you to do something that actually generates an exception.
