+1

surrogateescape would be a great alternative to the "try utf-8 then
latin-1" approach. It would simplify the gateway and the application. No
need to check some 'encoding' variable and transcode later. We just
encode everything to UTF-8, no special case.

surrogateescape isn't implemented (yet?) for Python 2. That's not an
issue if the 'new' WSGI sticks to native strings.
