There are a couple of questions here, and I'll try and answer them as
best I can...

Q. Can you store Unicode information in documents?
A. I would think so, just using 16-bit wide characters.

Q. Can you edit these?
A. Nope

Q. Can you send them to a web browser correctly encoded?
A. Not currently, though this wouldn't be too difficult to change the
encoding rules I suppose.

At this point, no, you're stuck with ISO-Latin-1 I'd imagine.  This
probably won't change until Python goes unicode.
