Having a setting sounds like a good route.  If it's off, it won't cause
any overhead.  If it's on, it will allow the maximum flexibility 
both for servlets using POST variables and for servlets using stdin for
some other purpose, even if both servlets exist in the same application,
and even if some browsers forget to set the Content-type.  We'd just
have to make sure FieldStorage doesn't blow up if given random input.
