I'm not aware of any problems with representing the request with a dictionary. Can you give examples?
Though it shouldn't be considered as a problem, the fact that probably no existing framework actually use the raw dictionary (there is, in almost all cases, a wrapping into a friendlier object), one might wonder why keeping such a low level interface rather than directly provide a higher level interface is a good idea. After all creating those dictionaries for no good reason aside from sending them to the next layer which will map them into a WebOb, a yaro, a cherrypy request, or zope request, etc. seems slightly pointless (I'm not versed into Python internals, but doesn't it have also a cost of creating rather useless objects repeatedly like that?) I know WSGI tries hard not to force into one implementation but still...
