[Zope-CMF] Unicode for ReST?

[Charlie Clark]

Hi,

one thing that bothered me on a recent project was that even in a browser  
view I have to decode "cooked_body" for those Satanic browsers Safari and  
Internet Explorer.

I looked a bit into the system and saw that we still use ReST in a very  
Wallace & Gromit way: ReST encodes the generated HTML using the default  
encoding from zope.conf and we promptly decode it back to unicode every  
time we want to display it, and make sure default-encoding and  
rest-encoding match. Adding "output='unicode' to Document's CookedBody()  
removes the double-encoding and doesn't break any tests. Would it be okay  
to add this for Document and News objects and adjust the views  
accordingly? I assume an upgrade step would need to run CookedBody() to  
convert existing "cooked_text" to unicode.
