Zope from 2.6 release try to support unicode, but it make big problem to developers who cann't use unicode (there is many reasons). We make patch to Zope 2.7.b1, but it also work with 2.7.b2.

What this patch do. 

1. Now Zope think that all non-unicode types (string, text, etc) use only latin-1 charset. It raise error when server encode sended data on Properties (manage_properties) page (I haven't now traceback, but will send uppon request). 

2. "manage_properties" work only in utf-8 charset that make big problems to set (and read) values in national encodings. "management_page_charset" not resolve this problem it haven't effect on "manage_properties". Patch set proper charset. By default it will be as active locale (-L key).

3. Many other bugfixes (all in description on russian). 

I'm sorry for my poor english, I would like to pay your attantion to this patch. If you dont consider it 
then the work with Zope for russian Zope-developers/users will be quite complicated.
