If > a string correctly decodes as UTF-8, then it's most certainly UTF-8. Could you explain in a bit more detail why this is the case? Are you saying that the probability of funny characters occurring only within UTF-8 compatible sequences like 110xxxxx 10xxxxx is just so absurdly low (especially in practice) that we can get away with autodetection? Come to think of it, what's the harm if we mistakenly detect something as UTF-8 from time to time? Maybe it's no worse than what's we already do...
