By default z3c.form sets the form content type to 'multipart/form-data' (the default value of IInputForm['enctype']). According to http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.13.4 this MIME type "should be used for submitting forms that contain files, non-ASCII data, and binary data." Shouldn't the default value rather be set to the default content type of HTML forms, i.e. 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'?
The majority of forms use Unicode widgets, so this falls under the heading of non-ASCII data. Also, it'd be almost impossible to auto-detect when binary data will be handled by the form, unless you start introspecting widget output, so the default looks entirely sane to me. -- Martijn Pieters
