Has anyone actually got an example of code for doing RFC-2047
decoding. Are there even any systems which make use of that encoding
for web requests anyway. I still haven't really addressed that
decoding requirement and I haven't seen any existing Python web stuff
that tries to.

Hmmm, I thought we were talking about the 'wsgi.' variants being
bytes. Ie., only talking here about Python 3.0. The existing
SCRIPT_NAME etc, would be string (unicode), but as latin-1.
