[Zope] Re: [Docutils-develop] ReStructuredText now in Zope

[Andreas Jung]

It is not an issue of Zope since you can store texts
with different encodings in Zope. I assume for
most english speaking or european users ISO-8859-1 the
prefered encoding (or ascii). But there is now way
to get the encoding of a text by "looking at the text".
For situations where you have texts with different encodings
it is necessary that the object containing the text has
a property that contains the encoding information. Using
sys.getdefaultencoding() usually returns "ascii" since
only few Zope/Python users change this value.
