Werkzeug supports that with a custom error handling wherever Werkzeug
works with unicode:
>>> url_decode(u"foo=föö".encode("latin1"), errors="fallback:latin1")
MultiDict([('foo', u'f\xf6\xf6')])
>>> url_decode(u"foo=föö".encode("utf-8"), errors="fallback:latin1")
MultiDict([('foo', u'f\xf6\xf6')])
That can also be defined for custom request objects::
class MyRequest(Request):
encoding_errors = 'fallback:latin1'

No problem here :) I happily accept patches of all kinds, but if
something is already more complex than necessary and further complexity
would be introduced just to fix/improve such a small edge case I vote for
not fixing it. At least not for the time being.
But I noted it down and try to fix that when I have time to clean up the
routing system a bit.
