Maybe I'm missing something but from the little knowledge I have, I'd
think an HTML form is posted encoded in the form enclosing HTML
document charset specified in the sent Server headers. So that you
settle a page encoded in iso-8859-2, you wouldn't expect a form
present in that page to post unicode data, would you ?
