No-one?

So far I have three ideas, none of the good:
1. Force people to change the default encoing in site.py.
2. Monkey-patch Zope3 to stop it from converting everything to unicode.
3. Do some magic so everything in these forms is converted to unicode
with the charset encoding in the for request.
