Re: [Zope-dev] problems with accented characters - need advice

we are looking for a simple solution to ensure that objects added to the zope database have valid names... including those which start out containing accented characters ( we are in europe ). I would get rid of the id restriction...

In fact, there is no real reason that Zope ids must be valid URL path elements. The reason why it is still there is that a change should work for all languages and not only western ones. This poses the question how the byte string representing the id your should be URL quoted. A good solution must probably wait until Zope id's are Unicode strings. Dieter
