Some possibly relevant data for this: http://philip.html5.org/data/encoding-detection.svg shows how many bytes have to be read before HTML5's <meta> charset sniffing algorithm finds an answer, based on 130K pages downloaded from dmoz.org (with a heavy American/European bias). (http://philip.html5.org/data/charsets.html has other charset data.) -- Philip Taylor pjt47@cam.ac.uk
