Wow, this is very well written, IMHO.  Minor errors aside, it provides 
an excellent overview of how to deal with character set encoding in HTTP.

It sounds like what you're saying is that all HTTP input and output 
should be processed through a "Locale" service, and that there can be 
different locale services in different contexts.  The locale service 
would perform all the work of reading and setting the HTTP headers.

I could definitely agree with that.  What do others think?
