Jukka Zitting resolved TIKA-154.
--------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Fix Version/s: 0.3
Assignee: Jukka Zitting
In revision 735193 I implemented the plain text detection mechanism described
in section 4 of the content type sniffing draft [1] I mentioned earlier on the
mailing list.
This seems to work pretty fine, and finally allows us to detect plain text
documents with no file name or type hints. :-)
Resolving as Fixed.

> Antoni Mylka noted on the mailing list:
> Many binary formats begin with magic byte sequences composed of ASCII
> characters, e.g.
> zipfiles begin with PK
> pdfs begin with %PDF-
> chms help files begin with ITSF
> etc.
> Tika should do a better job of detecting such cases.
