I think that the general direction should be getting rid of encoding sniffing. It's very rarely helpful if ever, and implementations are wildly different. WebKit can optionally use ICU for charset detection. We also have custom built-in heuristics to switch between Japanese encodings only (think rendering unlabeled EUC-JP pages when default browser encoding is set to Shift-JIS). Safari doesn't enable ICU based detection to no visible user disconcert, and I don't know if the Japanese heuristics are still important. > 2) Does this need to apply outside HTML?

Related to the last question, WebKit doesn't implement re-navigation (neither for charset sniffing, nor for <meta charset>), and I don't think that we ever should. - WBR, Alexey Proskuryakov
