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

[Casey Duncan]

There is a function defined in ObjectManager.py called checkValidId. You
could override this to enforce certain rules either in a subclass of OM
(overridding _setObject) or by a direct monkey patch of
ObjectManager.py.

Then it would not be possible to supply invalid names from anywhere
(ZMI, DAV, FTP or programmatically).
