locale+surrageescape would be insanity!  CGI will just require some
configuration with respect to the environment.  Anyway, I suspect CGI only
really works because: (a) people using CGI are sticking to ASCII, (b)
they've fixed stuff up in their apps, (c) they just produce garbage and no
one cares.

There are some simple errata, most of which I believe web3 covers (in
addition to other things it covers).

I think everyone is on board with:

  status, headers, app_iter = app(environ)

Web3 proposed a different order, but it seems clear from the thread that
people prefer the more natural order, and web3 authors don't particularly
object.
