> Note that Python is free to change the meaning of Py_UNICODE
> (e.g. to use UCS4 on all platforms)

Python-UCS4 has never worked on Windows. Most developers on Windows, taking example on core python source code, implicitly assumed that HAVE_USABLE_WCHAR_T is true, and use the Py_Unicode* api the same way they use the PyString* functions.

PyString_AsString is documented to return a nul-terminated array. If PyUnicode_AsUnicode starts to behave differently, people will have more trouble to port their modules to py3k.
This is not an implementation detail.
