Well, if someone were to forward the message to me, I could see if XEmacs were any more clever than GNU Emacs. Better still, I could then forward that on and ask the MULE hackers what they think about doing it. There is also `detect-coding-with-priority' which takes a list of priorities, at last under XEmacs. You could supply a list of the various far-east encodings to that, which /should/ prefer those to the western encodings. Not that the function is likely to do much for the western encodings anyway.
