... silly id restrictions ... Here's my current monkeypatch to Zope to unrestrict a good number of characters:

import re acceptable = r'[^a-zA-Z0-9-_~,.$\(\)\[\]\*\'\!\:\@\&\#\=\+\$ ]' bad_id = re.compile(acceptable).search import OFS.ObjectManager OFS.ObjectManager.bad_id = bad_id
The projects that use this patch have been in use for several years; they predate Five. I of course don't mind continuing to do this, but I'd hate to have to change it temporarily (to fix this bug which actually isn't a bug for me because I don't use Five for these projects) and then change it again when we do the pluggable thing.
+1 Looks as if we had very similar project requirements... -- Dieter
