Indeed.

The entire url-retrieve interface is more than a little broken in many
small ways.

In the next-generation URL library interface (the `with-url' thing
discussed intermittently the past few years) I think it would make sense
to supply the caller with a method to say what charset you want stuff
like this to be encoded with.
