This line, intended to force the dtml to be rendered as a unicode object,=
 is=20
not doing its job. If the dtml is not a unicode object then ZPublisher's=20
encoding mechanism is not engaged. Has there been some recent dtml=20
optimisation to ignore empty strings perhaps?

This patch below works for me. Please let me know if this works for you a=
nd I=20
will apply it to 2.6. (and various sources of documentation that all=20
recommend including this line.)
