[Zope-dev] 2.7 management_page_charset cannot be callable anymore

[Toby Dickenson]

As the originator of management_page_charset, I should have jumped into this 
thread earlier. My appologies for my late arrival.

Ive missed the use case that needs this.

management_page_charset was added as a transition aid for people who already 
had sites where their use of the management interface assumed something other 
than latin-1 was used for plain string properties. That is, a transition 
towards using unicode objects for storing all natural language strings.

I wouldnt like to see management_page_charset grow into something bigger than 
this - its too ugly.
