    Description

      With input text "Indanyl", the encoding is recognized as IBM500, even when "UTF-8" is specified explicitly.

      I would argue that detection should only be used when the declared information is incorrect (saving time and avoiding wrong detection), as proposed by Ken Krugler in TIKA-539.
