[Zope] Diacriticals in ZMI

[Charlie Reiman]

Nope, my default is iso 8859 as well. I also checked the behavior under IE
and the ZMI shows as Western (Windows) which is not ISO 8859 (I think). IE
6's encoding for about:blank is Unicode, although it greys out the
selection.

Anwyay, I'm done worrying about it.
