Just an idea, (might have already been discussed, I'm jumping in this thread) :

How about having a small library of characters specific to (or most frequently
met in) the various charsets. Then we can check a few lines of the document,
or at least the title. This, plus a default choice based on the domain
extension (.fr, .de, ...) in case of multiple choices, should give the good set
most of the time.


Cheers,
