VTK developers should already be using the vtkStdString class in any new 
code that they write, it's already widely used.  The new Unicode classes 
were created to support ingestion, analysis, and rendering of Unicode 
text using the VTK pipeline.  I imagine that any changes to the existing 
VTK API around Unicode would happen at a relaxed pace.

Cheers,
Tim
