Description
If you try to export a wiki page into a DocBook document, the export will fail if there is a non-ascii char in a foot note.
Steps to reproduce
The following footnote :
<<FootNote(Le français aime les espaces avec les signe de ponctuation.)>>
will produce the following error :
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character

Discussion
The current patch is probably not the best solution, since this can probably happen in some other part, and the best solution would probably to ensure that any strings coming from user input are unicode.
