This is a very laudable initiative and I approve of the changes -- but I really think it ought to be a separate PEP rather than pretending it is just a set of textual corrections on the existing PEP 333.

I have only done the Python 3-specific changes at this point; the diff is here if anybody wants to review, nitpick or otherwise comment:

(Please note: I went with Ian Bicking's "headers are strings, bodies are bytes" proposal, rather than my original "bodies and outputs are bytes" one, as there were not only some good arguments in its favor, but because it also resulted in fewer changes to the PEP, especially in the code samples.) I will continue to work on adding the other addenda/errata mentioned here:  http://mail.python.org/pipermail/web-sig/2010-September/004655.html But because these are "shoulds" rather than musts, and apply to both Python 2 and 3, they are not as high priority for immediate implementation in wsgiref and do not necessarily need to hold up the 3.2 release. (Nonetheless, if anybody is willing to implement them in the Python 3 version, I will happily review the changes for backport into the Python 2 standalone version of wsgiref, and issue an updated release to include them.) Thanks!
