xmlproc returning all strings as unicode?

[Ellinghaus, Lance]

Is there a way to make xmlproc not return all strings as unicode?
I am passing in standard ASCII and it returns all data as unicode...

Or is there an easy way to convert unicode to standard ASCII?

All XML API is defined to be based on Unicode, by W3C. Don't use
XML if you don't want Unicode.

Invoke .encode("ascii" ) on the strings you get.
