Oh, the one thing that will be silly is cookies, but they are totally nuts
already. They can be parsed equally well as bytes or latin1, and best only
transcoded after parsing. Doing cookie_value.decode(app_encoding) or
cookie_value.encode('ISO-8859-1').decode(app_encoding) isn't terribly
different. And cookies aren't fair because they are just stupid; like the
standard library I don't think we should design anything around their
idiosyncrasies.
