I propose:
1. Currently you can set a management_page_charset property to override the
global assumption that legacy ZMI pages are latin1. This is a hack that
happens to mostly work by accident, provided your ZMI pages do not encounter
a unicode object. I propose promoting this to a standard documented feature.
Is there anyone who actually uses this feature who can contribute some
documentation?
(Note that feature will never work with pages that do encounter unicode
objects. This means Zope should try to avoid gratuitous unicode usage, but I
suggest that compatability with this feature should not hold back any future
enhancements to the ZMI which rely on using unicode)
2. The documented way of setting a ZMI-page-specific encoding is
REQUEST.set('management_page_charset','UTF-8'). Currently
management_page_charset as a global property will override this page specific
setting. This is a bug that needs to be fixed.
3. I propose changing the encoding used by the standard 'Properties' ZMI page.
Currently it uses UTF8 always, and assumes that 8bit string properties are
latin1. I propose that this policy is used only if a unicode property has
already been defined on this object. If it has not, it uses the same encoding
policy as every other ZMI page - that is the value of the
management_page_charset property, or latin-1 if it has not been set.
A disadvantage of this change is that it will not be possible to set a
non-latin-1 initial value when creating the first unicode property. I think
this is just about acceptable.
