Maybe just have new uZPT with Unicode and leave the "old" ZPT allone?
Maybe with limited ability to "add" old ZPT from ZMI or such.

This would solve the backward-compatibility problems and would be a more
smooth transition w/o the need of upgrade hacks and "strict" hacks
(after all, we arent perl/php ;))

Maybe with a "make all my ZPT uZPT" or the like for the real desperate.
