hi,

i think it would be a good idea, to define what the "unicode policy" of 
newforms should be.

i got the idea after seeing changeset 4076....

i understand that this is still work-in-progress, but we still should 
clearly define how we handle incoming data.

so, some question:

- what is the plan, how should incoming data (GET or POST) handled?
some possibilities:

- we assume it's DEFAULT_CHARSET. we do not failover (means that if that 
data is not in DEFAULT_CHARSET, the newforms code will (because of 
"unicode(data,DEFAULT_CHARSET) raise the usual UnicodeDecodeError)

or

- we will make sure that we never raise such an error. that would mean, 
that, for example:
        - we try DEFAULT_CHARSET
        - if we fail, we try <something_else_1> (probably utf-8)
        - if we fail, we try <something_else_2>
        .
        .
        .
        - if we fail, we use ISO-8859-1 (which cannot fail)

so, which direction should be taken?

gabor
