Define XML encoding sniffing better #62

It's not clear to me which algorithm from the XML spec that step 4 of the text response is referring to. Is it this or something else?

I guess we should clarify that. It's basically MIME type followed by finding it in <?xml ...?> (and perhaps there should be a limit for this on the amount of bytes scanned, but probably not needed).

Not sure if we should have sniffing here.
