This is becoming increasingly painful I will soon have a patch against Zope 2.11b1 which gets rid of this restriction.
If there is consense, I can add it to the Zope repository.
+1 from my side. Saves me the work to cleanup my own dirty patch :-))
- -1 without *careful* analysis of how the patch is going to break existing applications which rely on the fact that IDs are only ASCII (and therefore don't need to be quoted). At a minimum, this kind of change is going to require documenting the risks, and getting soem feedback, before any merge to a production release.
Please check the patch in on a "private" branch and ask for comments here.
@Dieter: please create a branch for this (and not as patch for Launchpad) The patch is working for long time (possibly several years) within our private Zope. So I would not expect much problems. Of course it needs testing and documentation. Andreas
