Comment (by Claude Paroz):
While starting to review the patch, and looking for more recent
considerations than the old 1866 RFC, I read
https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#application/x-www-form-urlencoded which is
worth a read. Quoting a note:
`A legacy server-oriented implementation might have to support encodings
other than UTF-8 as well as have special logic for tuples of which the
name is ``_charset``. Such logic is not described here as only UTF-8 is
conforming.`
I don't necessarily re-question our previous discussions/decisions,
however we might be prepared to receive some complaints as it may be that
non-conforming agents start to produce BadRequest errors. Difficult to say
before going to production!
