That would be unworkable under java servlet containers, since they each take a different approach to addressing encoding issues, or fail to deal with them entirely. So there would probably have to be a special case for every single one of these http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Servlet_containers Each of which has a number of different ways of being configured in relation to these issues. I don't know if it would even be possible to write such a middleware. And retain all of one's hair.
