Hi Stephan!

Which Zope-version do you use? I use Structured Document a lot with Zope 
2.6.1 and encountered no problems with "Umlauts".

Seems to be that your browser switches from ISO-8859-1 to Unicode. 
Please check this in "View -> Character Coding" of your Browser. The 
page should be fine if you turn it back to ISO-8859-1, right?  This 
problem can happen if you use methods like manage_changeProperties 
(setting a unicode-charset for the RESPONSE) "on the fly". Inserting 
something like

<dtml-call "RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-type','text/html; 
charset=iso-8859-1;')">

in the "standard_html_footer" (please note that I wrote FOOTER!!! 
setHeader should be called as the last action, so it wins the run for 
the charset) should solve the problem.

Working with "HTML-Umlauts" in StructuredDocument is fine for me too. I 
use ZCTextIndex.
