That's pretty strange: the pmid is just a number, so utf-8 and ascii
would have the same representation.  Which implies that minidom was
giving us something other than either of those.  Your system isn't
configured for something crazy like UTF-16 is it?

The python stuff is potentially rife with encoding stuff that I haven't
thought about.  One of the pitfalls of being English: ASCII was enough
for us! ;-)
