Maris, this makes me wonder: do we have a policy on where encoding of
strings happens?  Some projects state that all strings beyond a certain
boundary in the API will be in UTF-8 (or whatever).  Your fix is great,
but this seems like the sort of bug that will bite us again.

I don't see anything in the dev wiki about it, and don't recall any such
guideline from conversations about Launchpad coding.  Is there one, or
if not, should there be?
