As far as I understand, you are saying that it is essential
that posted data and a query string should be separated
for processing in python libraries e.g. FieldStorage or so.

But this doesn't mean both values could not end in the 
request.form dict right?

Was this supported before your changes? Is this a new feature
you decided to add? What's the reason for this? Can you point
me to more infos?
