encoding -> fallbackEncoding would be a big improvement IMO.


<ol>
<li><p>If <var>mimeType</var> is failure, then return <var>encoding</var>.

<li><p>If <var>mimeType</var>["<code>charset</code>"] does not <a for=map>exist</a>, then return
<var>encoding</var>.

<li><p>Let <var>tentativeEncoding</var> be the result of <a for=/>getting an encoding</a> from
<var>mimeType</var>["<code>charset</code>"].

<li><p>If <var>tentativeEncoding</var> is failure, then return <var>encoding</var>.

<li><p>Return <var>tentativeEncoding</var>.
</ol>

<div class=note>
<p>This algorithm allows <var>mimeType</var> to be failure so it can be more easily combined with
<a>extract a MIME type</a>.

<p>It is denoted as legacy as modern formats are to exclusively use <a for=/>UTF-8</a>.
