Content
About (1): It's customary for Python to accept "truthful" values (like non-empty strings) as True. I see no harm in that. Strict type-checking to boolean True in each and every place is not necessary. About (2): Similarly, this isn't productive. ET may not know about all encodings underlying the system. The warning is clearly documented - it's up for the user to make sure it's valid.
