Well. I don't think the problem is that text widgets expect unicode 
input. The problem is that the Zope 2 publisher doesn't convert the form 
data to unicode. So IMO the EditView is closer to the problem.

Don't get me wrong: I'm happy Philipp works on resolving this issue and 
I can live with both solutions. I'm just a bit concerned that Five might 
fork more zope3 code than necessary. The EditView class is already Five 
specific.
