Default High ASCII cookies bug in Apache 2.0

Request:

GET /cgi-bin/1.pl HTTP 1.1
Cookie: name=qqq

If write some symbols with codes higher than 127 instead of qqq, CGI-script
will get same number of characters in variable $ENV{"HTTP_COOKIE"}, but they
will be strangely converted into symbols with codes not greater than 127.

In Apache 1.3 everything worked perfectly.

I'd like to know if there is any standard on restricting character values in
HTTP request.

If there is no one, this should be bug.
