Samantha,

One thing that occurs to me. While the physical rendering of the bytes in 
the Memory View as UNICODE (rather than ASCII) is doable from the CDT 
layer, we would nonetheless need to give the user the ability to switch to 
this display mode. In other words, the Memory view doesn't know whether a 
block of memory represents UNICODE or not. It's up to the user to tell the 
Memory view to switch to this alternate rendering mode. So, unless the 
client layer (CDT) can add this UI switch to the view, this feature still 
implies some work at the platform level, no?
