Appendix F of the XML 1.0 Recommendation specifies ways to autodetect the character encoding of XML documents, and this works fine for documents that start with the four bytes 3C 3F 78 6D ("<?xm"). Maybe we need a similar mechanism for valid HTML documents, documents that start with the four bytes 3C 21 44 4F ("<!DO"). This would make it a lot easier to upload documents to the validator, when the documents will have their character encoding specified via the HTTP Content-Type field when retrieved from the server.
