------- Comment #6 from pub-macosforge at coq.no  2009-06-24 15:47 PDT -------
As mentioned in a WhatWG e-mail [1], IE partly avoids the problem of
mislabelled CJK pages by merging 7-bit and 8-bit character sets. In particular,
ISO-2022-JP and Shift_JIS are merged, which means that ISO-2022-JP mislabelled
as Shift_JIS or vice versa still works correctly.

Implementing this in WebKit should reduce the need for encoding detection for
Japanese.
