I'm not aware of a formal decision about that. I readily admit that it
wont' work in any foreseeable future, but I haven't given up for P3k :-)

This time, my interest was triggered by someone on c.l.p who could not
reverse a string, since it was in UTF-8; he was asking why Python is
so difficult for Swedish people.

Yes: because it won't work in any foreseeable future.

I'll take your statement that "small" changes towards making -U work
are acceptable; I'll see how far I get with small changes until I get
stuck again.

Regards,
Martin
