Comment not on the idea behind the proposal but rather the  
nomenclature – getDataSetString implies something generic. A GET  
action serializes that data as RFC1738-encoded ASCII, while a POST  
whose enctype is "multipart/form-data" gets all of ISO10646 to play  
with.

At the very least, getEncodedDataSetString and getDataSetString  
(implicitly un-encoded) might do the trick.
