I don't think I'll be able to work on it, but I think it's worth
consideration: Unicode issues with Zope 2.12.  I've seen these on at
least three different Zope 2 sites built with a combination of TTW page
templates, Python scripts and (sometimes) DTML documents: things like
title attributes store their data as UTF-8 strings, while page templates
insist on Unicode objects, resulting in errors all over the place.

Those sites worked with Zope 2.9 and broke down after an upgrade to
2.12.  That's a not very nice thing to do to your users...
