> By definition, ASCII DXF files are encoded in plain text.  However. the vast 
> majority of their content is not intended to be human readable (see 
> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AutoCAD_DXF).  Unfortunately for these files, 
> Tika simply "extracts" the entire content of the file instead of the 
> human-readable portions (i.e. comments etc.) that a CAD tool would render.  
> This results in massive amounts of rubbish data being returned with dire 
> consequences for applications that rely on this.
> It would be nice if only the human-readable text fields were extracted.  
> Failing this, it would still be nice if no text was extracted from these 
> files at all.
