  * The getttext() functions return bytestrings using DEFAULT_CHARSET. This causes a number of difficulties in the code, because UTF-8 encoded bytestrings cannot safely be passed to the string.join() method.
-    + Consider switching to ugettext() and friends everywhere internally. These return unicode strings that can be used in join() calls. The alternative requires being aware of when bytestrings might be involved and doing yet another decode()/encode() round-trip around the join(). Error-prone and time-consuming.
