Many thanks for your feedback, Ambrose! Additional thoughts on a few bits:

Yes, now that you mention it it is pretty obvious. It's not only machine  
translated but very poorly so, with things like 甚么, 今后 and 几句...

Well hunted, thank you! Since no candidate mapping is correct for this  
page, there's nothing we can do about it.

This is very unfortunate, because it means that there are pages labeled  
with <meta charset=big5> that depend on *different* extensions of Big5. To  
summarize the pages analyzed in  
<http://lists.whatwg.org/htdig.cgi/whatwg-whatwg.org/2012-April/035370.html>:

Works with the *-hk mappings, broken with the firefox mapping:

I don't know how representative the sample is, but I would be very  
surprised if Firefox's interpretation of big5 fixes more pages than it  
breaks, given that IE has always only had a single big5 mapping and that  
no other browser agrees with Firefox.
