Synopsis: 
GET header defaults to be iso-8859-1 encoded which breaks intl' forms passed by GET

Description:
In org.apache.tomcat.service.http.Constants, CharacterEncoding.Default is used to specify the supposed encoding of request URI. while I understand, that this is standard it completely disallows forms with non-8859-1 characters to be sent and processed via GET. It would be nice to be able to specify this encoding on at least per-system basis, it would be cool to be able to set this encoding on per-context basis, but i'm afraid, that by the time of decoding URI, the servlet is not yet known, since it is choosen on the URI basis ;-))
