For unicode applications (done in quixote), is it safe to assume that
this htmltext-like unicode subclass is the natural replacement
(evolution) for htmltext? Similarly, qpy seems like the natural
replacement (evolution) of ptl? Can these be used in quixote now? Will
a future quixote adopt these instead?

Given the many similarities between quixote and qp, and given the
purposes of each (generic object publisher, specialized application
framework) what are the reasons why qp is a distinct package, rather
than not being built on top of quixote?

Maybe the above, for a clean implementation of qp, would have required
disruptive changes to quixote. Do you think however that (with possibly
changes to quixote) qp will grow to use it? (i.e. reduce duplication of
generic classes for http/request/response etc)
