In general, we should declare what code should deal with docstring and zhat parts should deal with utf-8 std::string. For example, the lazy in me finds it easier to fix the insetquote code by using utf-8, since the disp == "<<" test will work with std::string. However, it seems to be better to use docstring, since Painter::text does not support utf-8 strings. Georg> If we only knew which variant results in less conversions.
