Changed the headers string charset to utf-8 since a header field may contain non-iso-8859-1 characters. For instance, a Location header field may contain Cyrillic characters.

My understanding is that iso-8859-1 is the standard, and really means "binary".  Turning it into unicode happens later.  See the WSGI PEPs for more information.
