It is probably too late to switch to such an approach now for text/html,
but it would have been better to use a simple and public algorithm (such
as defaulting to UTF-8) than a complex and proprietary one.  Web authors
would then see when they did something wrong (failed to label their page
or failed to use UTF-8) when testing their pages.
