#22: content-type sniffing should include charset sniffing

 the HTML5 spec contains some algorithms for sniffing charset, overriding
 labeled charset, etc.

 MIME parameters like charset are as much a part of the content-type as the
 base internet media type, and any sniffing of parameters and other
 metadata (overriding content-type or guessing where it is not supplied or
 wrong) should be included in this document, since the sniffing will happen
 at the same time.
