Could anyone elaborate on the significance of encoding detection order? Specifically I'm wondering why the default detection order (auto) is ASCII, JIS, UTF-8, EUC-JP, SJIS? Wouldn't it make more sense to have a default detection order along the lines of ASCII, SJIS, EUC-JP, JIS, UTF-8 which (I believe) would be more in line with the relative degree of use for each encoding? Are there any "gotchas" I should look for when setting the detection order myself?
