I would delete htmltext entirely and make Quixote depend on QPY and
the htmltext-compatibility stubs.  We may as well do it now and give
Quixote proper Unicode support.  I also needed it to make Quixote
compatible with Cheetah.  (Otherwise I couldn't use a form.render() or
href() result in a template.)

I've been using the Quixote/QPY hack on my production sites since
November 7 and have not seen any errors.  My version is a module that
imports quixote and qpy and patches quixote.  I make sure to import it
at the beginning of my applications before importing quixote, to
minimize the possibility of any stray htmltext objects being created.

We can release a beta version of Quixote so that people can verify
it's compatible with their applications.
