That what I did at first place, before my Product was moved to five. I 
added a mechanism that controls user input by safely translating it to 
unicode.

Isn't there any existing mechanism in z3 forms where a function can be 
hooked to verify and transform user input ?

z3 widgets waits for pure unicode or pure ascii feeding, and our CPS3 
forms are always iso8859-15.
