Which other application exactly do you have in mind?  The applications I
know mostly ask the opener.

Also, I'm not sure how a web app can be expected to know the encoding
of a text file on disk.


The same way that any other app does --- guess based on the extension and
expected usage? --- now that we've all standardized on meta-data-less file
systems :-(. I suppose an app could examine the first chunk of the file and
then re-read the file with a better guess.
