IMO $_BODY would make more sense, $_DATA is very ambiguous.

For the record, IMHO what is required here is a *bundled* OO request
abstraction extension, which would expose the underlying parser
routines in such a way that conversions of the input to a data
structure can be done with a single call. but *not* make any
assumptions about what is being done in the application. It has never
sat well with me that multipart inputs cannot be accessed as a raw
string.

I haven't actually given any though to what this API would look like though...
