Yeah, I think my preference would be at this point to expose API-only
encodings there. One of those could be base64. Labels for those
encodings would simply not be recognized for <form> and URL. We could
even give them labels that suggest that, e.g. "api-base64". Another
one I've heard requests for is true latin1 which we also use in
XMLHttpRequest for various HTTP-related things.
