     * <p>
     * If two or more flavors share the best representation class, and that
     * representation is one of the four explicitly listed, then one of those
     * flavors will be chosen non-deterministically. If, however, no flavor has
     * one of the four specified representations, the flavors will then be
     * sorted by their charsets. Unicode charsets, such as "UTF-16", "UTF-8",
     * "UTF-16BE", "UTF-16LE", and their aliases, are considered best. After
     * them, the platform default charset and its aliases are selected.
     * "US-ASCII" and its aliases are worst. All other charsets are chosen in
