If an HTML document doesn't specify its text encoding nor do the HTTP headers, we should try to detect encoding probabilistically like Firefox does, instead of just getting it wrong. Unlike Firefox, we probably don't want to have to maintain our own encoding detectors. We already depend on ICU, so let's use ICU's character set detection API. [1]
