In practice this is already done to some extent.  Form HTML implicitly
encodes knowledge of the server receiving the subsequent request.
Forms handling international text may have browser-specific code to
manage the character encoding that's used to send the subseqent request -
whether it's POSTed or URL-encoded with GET.
