Because libxml2 does its own encoding detection which is not even close to
what’s specified in HTML5, and supports far fewer encodings. If you make a test
suite you will see.
On the other hand, you could probably make a path that lets libxml2 do the
decoding for the most common encodings when specified in a way that we know
libxml2 detects correctly, after doing some testing to see if it handles
everything right.
