Per Gabriel's report via email, when VE POSTs HTML, it uses multipart/x-www-urlencoded to encode the POST body, which results in a lot of URL-encoding of special characters (especially <>") in the HTML. We should instead use multipart/form-data , which is more efficient for such large POST bodies with many special characters. TODO: Figure out how to tell the browser to use this encoding when sending an AJAX request.
