i feel the self.lines.append() is is a pretty serious problem...have you got any
second opinions on how to proceed?

if its not part of the public interface for FieldStorage, then wouldn't it be somewhat safe to remove it (you might anger some people, but they could always stick to using the old cgi.py)?

my argument is that if they changed the socket connect/bind functions to reject connect(host,port) in favor of connect((host,port)), then we should certainly be able to remove this self.lines.append() :-)

what do you think?
