Mark Davis mentioned to me that UTF-16 documents constitute less than 0.1% of
the Web, so it's a fairly marginal encoding.  According to
http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/01/unicode-nearing-50-of-web.html (which is
more than a year old), the web is 70% ASCII and UTF-8, 20%
8859-1/Win1252/8859-15, and 10% for all other encodings.  Scrubbing UTF-16 is
clearly the Right Thing.
