Re: formencode and toscawidgetsforms interaction

Hi Alberto and thanks very much for the fast response.

I might have sent my previous patch as a 7bit file and transhed
the utf-8 encoding of the data I had in the test case, but for
whatever reason the string that ended up in there is an (high
order) ascii string, not a python unicode string, and thus
doesn't provoke the error. Please replace it with
u'\u5bae\u672c' (it should be two characters that look like
宮本 when decoded as appropriate and printed).

Sorry about that, and here's hoping the tests fail properly
this time! :)
