If you know. You might know what you accept, but you might not know
what charset the data is coming back in. E.g. the form that specifies
a message footer in Mailman 2.1 for a list that accepts 10 different
languages. I guess you'd have to have some drop box that specified
the language the footer text was in, and then know the mapping from
that language to its charset.

Wise man! cgi.py is one of those modules that sucks just less than
the amount of effort needed to rewrite it cleanly.
