The bigger problem seems to be that we're revisiting the design discussion about urllib.parse from the summer of 2008. See http://bugs.python.org/issue3300 if you want to recall how we hashed this out 2 years ago. I didn't particularly like that design, but I had to go off on vacation :-), and things got settled while I was away. I haven't heard much from Matt Giuca since he stopped by and lobbed that patch into the standard library.
But since Guido is the one who settled it, why are we talking about it again?
Perhaps such decisions need revisiting in light of subsequent experience / pain / learning. E.g:
- the repeated inability of the web-sig to converge on appropriate semantics for a Python3-compatible version of the WSGI spec;
- the subsequent quirkiness of the Python3 wsgiref implementation;
- the breakage in cgi.py which prevents handling file uploads in a web application;
- the slow adoption / porting rate of major web frameworks and libraries to Python 3.
