http://lists.whatwg.org/pipermail/whatwg-whatwg.org/2013-December/041819.html ------------ Considering that the encoding of the content browsed is not really a function of the UI localization of the browser, though the two are often correlated, I have developed a patch for Firefox to make the guess based on the top-level domain name of the URL of the document when possible. ------------ Seems like a good idea to me, would be nice to have this fallback list standardized and implemented in all browsers.
