In the long run everything should be stored in unicode. But so far we 
have no migration plan to get there. Existing instances of the tools 
contain persistent non-unicode data. It is very likely that code exists 
that expects methods like listAllowedSubjects return non-unicode.

Any ideas how to resolve the migration issues are welcome.

The workaround currently used in CMFDefault is to convert the return 
values of tool methods to unicode. There are some helper methods in 
CMFDefault.utils for this.
