If you still plan on doing this then please take into account the
comment added in r1133367. We should keep flagging UTF-16 files as
"application/octet-stream" (or some other binary type) for now.
But libmagic usually reports them as "text/plain", and the current
code happens to deal fine with that. (Maybe we should add a regression
test for this but I don't have enough time right now...)
