Apparently so.  I'm using Python 2.2 (ActiveState) and it doesn't
complain about the "ü".

Python 2.2 doesn't complain about this.  From my limited knowledge of
XML I had inferred that it was OK to create our own namespace with
"ethereal:" for custom controls.  Maybe we should use "ethereal-" instead?

Ugh.  After checking out a fresh source tree from CVS, unpacking the
xulender code, and compiling wethereal.exe opens and browses just fine
here.  From your error output it looks like we're using the same version
of MSVC++ (6.00.8168.0).  I'll upgrade to Python 2.3 in the next day or
so to see if I can duplicate the problems you're having.
