I see this as being the same as Graham's suggested approach of a per-server configurable charset, which is then stored in the WSGI dictionary, so that applications that have problems, i.e. that detect mojibake in the unicode SCRIPT_NAME or PATH_INFO, can attempt to undo the faulty decoding by the server.
