Tim Allison commented on TIKA-1513:
-----------------------------------
Ah, ok. These are the links that I came across: [general
structure|https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa975386(v=vs.71).aspx]
(with mention of codepage mark at byte 29) and mappings for the [code page
byte|https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa975345(v=vs.71).aspx] and
[here|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/129631/en-us]. I realize that there is
always a difference between specs and reality. :)
On charset detection, y, ngram naive bayes would be fun, but for now we'll use
the built in charset detection that comes with Tika.
