I started talking to Graham Dumpleton, author of mod_wsgi a couple years back because mod_wsgi and paste do decoding of bytes to unicode at different layers which caused problems for application level code that should otherwise run fine when being served by mod_wsgi or paste httpserver. That was the beginning of Graham starting to talk about what the wsgi spec really should look like under python3 instead of the broken way that the appendix to the current wsgi spec states.
