I do this in my framework, which also decodes query strings and post bodies (and handles multipart/form-data as well as x-www-form-urlencoded). Note that while x-www-form-urlencoded is generally restricted to ASCII values by the HTML 4.01 spec, multipart/form-data can contain arbitrary Unicode strings. In Python 3.x, strings are all Unicode.
