Ah, I get it. I have my reasons for not using FormBuild, part of
which is that Genshi allows me to do some clever things to build
forms. Hence, I'd like to see the encoding stuff done in Paste where
we can all make use of it. I propose:
1. Paste should decode things from UTF-8 by default. For US-ASCII
users, this will do nothing.
2. You should be able to tell Paste via the .ini file to decode using
a different decoding or to do no decoding, in case the developer wants
to do his own thing.
3. As an optional third option, Paste can react to a form variable
named "paste_decode_encoding" (or somesuch) and decode the form
parameters using that encoding. Yes, there are Web sites that do such
whacky things, although I doubt they use Paste ;)
This covers all the bases.
My top bug right now is to unbreak my Pylons-based application for
CJKV users, so this is something I'm keenly interested in. ;)
