Currently, the media type is described as two monolithic algorithms, defining encoding/decoding. This makes it hard to re-use outside HTML, and also conflates issues related to HTML forms (special form parameters and types) with the actual media type format.

Please don't reuse this format outside HTML, it's crazy town.
