If I change the input line to:
<input name="blah" type="text" tal:attributes="value python:chr(200)" />
Then this will work in HTML mode but will fail in XML mode.
This all sounds familiar. I remember having loads of fun with MailTemplates, which work predominantly in XML mode. The rules I have from working with them are as follows: If content_type is set to text/html, then: - any unicodes should be encoded using the character set you intend to use for the final mail encoding - you are responsible for ensuring that any strings are encoded with the correct character set, which should be that used for the final mail encoding. If content_type is set to anything else: - all string-like data inserted into the Mail Template during rendering must be in the form of unicode objects. So, in your case, make sure everything you insert with any tal is a unicode object. hth, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk
