Seems good to me. Maybe something from cgi? I always use
cgi.parse_qs() when using urrlib2... Something about this arised in
other thread...

First of all you should draft the PEP, send it here, and put it
somewhere in the web. Then the community could help you to shape it
and get a final proposal.

If too many problems regardgin compatibility arises, you always can
implement it in Py3k...
