Well, arbitrary character sets should also be allowed in URI's, but little has been said about this either, other than "it's a problem". I have suggested a few mechanisms for supporting this. As for queries, I think that Larry's multipart/forms-data is the best way to go. Ideally, all forms data, including queries should be sent to the server as a message body, which *does* have a way of labelling the content. This also applies to the GET method. >2.

I never noticed this, and agree that it seems strange.
