If you use ENCTYPE=application/form-data, the form data from a POST
can be labelled correctly.

For POST with ENCTYPE=application/x-www-form-urlencoded, there is no
simple way to label the charset. I propose that HTML be modified so
that the very special construct:

<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=charset>

i.e., a form with a hidden field with the field name "charset" be
interpreted as "supply the charset used for encoding the values".
