Comment(by atagar):

 > How will Stem handle this?

 If validation is enabled then Stem should raise a ValueError with...

 Line contains invalid characters: <line>

 ... and simply skip the line if validation is disabled. Stem's presently
 failing before that with a UnicodeDecodeError, but that's a bug.
