It would not require changing any existing specification for someone
to create a web server that interpreted

http://host.dom/encoding/selector

to mean that 'encoding' was a particular encoding of the given
selector. The web server could even return a 'Location:' header in the
results that would give a canonical encoding, just so as not to
confuse caches.

'encoding' could even be UTF7, for example.
