[Bug 26655] Support mistakenly `utf-`-prefixed encodings seen in the wild

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=26655

--- Comment #6 from John Cowan <cowan@ccil.org> ---
I agree about mailers.

Reporting broken web pages is itself a broken process: it horribly fails to
scale, and frequently there is no one to complain to.  That's why we have to
tolerate broken markup and have even needed to make a broken-markup standard. 
Broken encoding labels are just another part of that.

It's all very well to say "Move everything to UTF-8", but if it were that easy,
XHTML would have been a smashing success.
