URLs are recommended to be UTF-8 encoded and then url-encoded.
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2718.txt

Unless there is some compelling reason for a particular scheme to do 
otherwise, translating character sequences into UTF-8 (RFC 2279) [3] and 
then subsequently using the %HH encoding for unsafe octets is recommended.

Zope 3 doesn't do this at present, but it should do this.
