Re: [whatwg/encoding] Amount of bytes to sniff for encoding detection (#102)

That's correct - there won't be reparsing. Feeding will be delayed till encoding gets detected.

CED can be (and is) configured to conform to the standard (HTML5 mode).

Users have to switch encoding via menu or plugin manually when viewing legacy web pages without encoding label. Many of them have no idea what the concept of encoding, how to get the page right, or which encoding to choose. CED tries to address that by making the best guess for those pages.
