I can second this. With CVS-Zope (did the last cvs up this moment)
I'm getting a very curios thing:
Displaying .../index_html is ok.
But 
return context.index_html(context,request)
creates broken characters instead is isolatin1 Umlaute.
In my case (Konqueror on Linux) it seems that the
text/html;charset=UTF-8 breaks the page because the byte values are
correct for the "Umlaute". This is further confirmed by the fact that
forcing Konq to display iso8859-1 fixes the display.

So how are these Unicode changes supposed to work? Are non-ascii
characters forbidden now? And how do I get UTF-8 text into Zope?

While I'm quite sure that this will help Zope in the Asiatic region, it
seems quite inconvienent for isolatin1 world :(

The same here with Umlaute, ...

I've used wget and less <result to verify that the umlaute display
correctly.
