There are many API methods which don't accept 'unicode' instance as their string type arguments.
e.g.
1st argument (attribute name) of FMEFeature.setAttribute
1st argument (message string) of FMELogFile.logMessageString
Currently users who are working with Non-ASCII locale have to add codes to check the class of each string value and convert it to a 'string' instance if it was a 'unicode' instance, to avoid the UnicodeEncodeError.
Hope every method will accept 'unicode' instances as string type arguments.

Btw, I'd give you an upvote, but apparently I have -8 votes to give, so it'll have to wait till Safe fixes it ;-)
