Is it bad to put enctype="multipart/form-data" into every form tag
I am building a small library to help me with form creation, and I am searching for information about the enctype tag.
Is it something that is ok to include in every form or something that should only be used when necessary (i.e. for upload forms)?

multipart/form-data will generate a bit more traffic, because it creates both a binary and an ASCII upload.
More traffic means slower response by server. Insignificant slower.
Now it's just a question do you mind that?
