--- Comment #1 from Alexey Proskuryakov <ap at webkit.org> ---
WebKit supports this (see WKPreferencesSetEncodingDetectorEnabled), so clients can enable if desired.

With charset detection, one needs to either buffer a lot of data before rendering a page, which impacts performance, or to switch encodings in the middle, which is crazy. Even so, the result is probabilistic. I don't recommend enabling charset auto-detection.

RESOLVED/INVALID, as this already exists.
