As someone who works often with Java I absolutely agree with it. Just I
don't know how to do it with Zope/Plone/other 3rd party products (not
written by me), since they use not unicode strings. I don't know, maybe
it can be specified for Python that it uses unicode for plain strings as
well, but anybody has successfully done that with Zope? Like, what about
the C parts of Zope then?
