If the Encode::Detect module is not installed, there is negligible performance
loss and no change of behavior from before the patch (other than the bug fix to
include text/plain content in the "visible rendered" form).

What do you mean by "requires recoding"?  I wasn't aware this change required
anything.

Is your point that there needs to be some way to disable charset normalization
in the case where Encode::Detect is installed?

I don't understand what you mean by this.

By that argument, there is no need for "body" or "rawbody" rules.  There is a
small subset of possible transfer encodings and the like.

Motoharu-san has given clear, convincing evidence of the value of charset
normalization.  Are you saying that you have contradictory experience in the
Japanese environment?
