See: http://w3c.github.io/html/sec-forms.html#urlencoded-form-data I think the note at the top conveys a warning of the inherent complexity involved. If this resolution is not satisfactory, please copy the relevant bug details/proposal into a new issue at the W3C HTML5 Issue tracker: https://github.com/w3c/html/issues/new where it will be re-triaged.
