This whole discussion seems a bit "rare and obscure" to me. I've built URLs for years without this method, and never felt the lack. What bugs me is the lack of a way to build multipart-formdata payloads, the only standard way to send non-Latin1 strings as part of a request. I'd like to suggest we move this off python-dev, and to either the Web-SIG or stdlib-sig mailing lists, which are probably more interested in all of this.
