I've already given everything I can without exposing our internal
architecture which I won't do. There is nothing more complex that URL
logging, URL regex matching, processing of results in apps (embedded,
server or desktop side) and human checking that everything work well by
reading logs or reportings or whatever.

And I've already stated I don't want out of band metadata to declare if
URLs are in UTF-8, I want out of band metadata to declare when they are
not, and the processing in this case will be to kill connexions and avoid
encoding guesswork down the stack.

There is no hidden mystery use case. There is only the basic need to be
able to decode URLs.
