Because that problem was solved a long ago in applications themselves.
Webob, Werkzeug, Paste, Pylons, Django, you name it, all are operating
on unicode.  And the way they do that is straightforward.

Now currently what we have to do on Python 3 is to encode the data again
and decode it with the target charset.  Unnecessary roundtrips that just
slow the whole thing down.  What for?
