It looks theoretically quite neat. I hope this too -- the current
heuristics are often at a loss.
Ironically, the cited page at mozilla doesn't display correctly in my
browser (of all things mozilla!). Setting to auto-detect guesses UTF-8
whereas it's latin-1 -- as correctly advertised in the headers :-)
(yes, it's off-topic and it's most-probably some miscofiguration on my
side, but I thought some might savour the irony).
But I also feel that we need more systematic heuristics. I'll give
Unicad a try.
