So, what advice do you propose about decoding bytes into strings for
the request-URI / method / request headers, and vice versa for
response headers and status code/phrase? Do you assume ASCII, Latin-1,
or UTF-8? How are errors handled?
Are bodies still treated "as binary byte sequences", as per PEP 333?

OK, that's quite exhaustive.
For the benefit of those of us jumping in, could you summarise your
proposal
in something like the following manner:
1. How the request method is made available to WSGI applications
2. How the request-uri is made available to WSGI applications -- in
particular, whether any decoding of punycode and/or %-escapes happens
3. How request headers are made available to WSGI apps
4. How the request body is made available to to WSGI apps
5. Likewise for how apps should expose the response status message,
headers
and body to WSGI implementations.
Same as the WSGI PEP.
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0333/
Nothing has changed in that respect.

Reference?
See:

Anyone else jumping in on this conversation with their own opinions
and who has not read it, should perhaps at least read that. Also
read
some of the earlier posts in the numerous discussions this spawned
at:
http://groups.google.com/group/python-web-sig?lnk=
as the current thinking isn't exactly what I blogged about and has
shifted a bit as the discussion has progressed.

Most things is not the Web. How will you handle serving images
through
WSGI?
Compressed content? PDFs?
You are perhaps misunderstanding something. A WSGI application
still
should return bytes.
The whole concept of any sort of fallback to allow unicode data
to be
returned for response content was purely so the canonical hello
world
application as per Python 2.X could still be used on Python 3.X.
So, we aren't saying that the only thing WSGI applications can
return
is unicode strings for response content.
Have you read my original blog post that triggered all this
discussion
this time around?

here is a summary:
Apart from python3 compatibility(which should be good enough
reason), utf-8 is what's used in http a lot these days. Most
things
layered on top of wsgi are using utf-8 (django etc), and lots
of web
clients are using utf-8 (firefox etc).
Why not move to unicode?
