    <thetext>&quot;Note: Parameters on the application/x-www-form-urlencoded MIME type are ignored. In particular, this MIME type does not support the charset parameter.&quot;

I do agree that there is no charset param on this media type. However, it seems that UAs routinely ignore this and send a charset parameter anyway.

I would be good to find out whether this behavior can be eliminated from implementations. If this is not the case, it might be good to explain why UAs still send the charset parameter (and under which circumstances).</thetext>
