I have a working system which appears to accept and preserve ISO 8859-1 
all the way through from rich-text input through storage in the database 
and output through Zope.

But I want Unicode all the way through everything because it's the Right 
Thing To Do, because I'm a typographer and care about characters, 
because one of my Zope sites has lots of users/contributors for whom ISO 
8859-1 is not native, because I want to output PDF via XSL:FO from 
Zope-processed XML, and because my next project has to be able to be 
replicated in N languages. UTF-8 encoding because it seems widely 
supported in browsers and other apps.
