/**
81
 * ** General ideas of the Hebrew charset recognition **
82
 *
83
 * Four main charsets exist in Hebrew:
84
 * "ISO-8859-8" - Visual Hebrew
85
 * "windows-1255" - Logical Hebrew 
86
 * "ISO-8859-8-I" - Logical Hebrew
87
 * "x-mac-hebrew" - ?? Logical Hebrew ??
88
 *
89
 * Both "ISO" charsets use a completely identical set of code points, whereas
90
 * "windows-1255" and "x-mac-hebrew" are two different proper supersets of 
91
 * these code points. windows-1255 defines additional characters in the range
92
 * 0x80-0x9F as some misc punctuation marks as well as some Hebrew-specific 
93
 * diacritics and additional 'Yiddish' ligature letters in the range 0xc0-0xd6.
94
 * x-mac-hebrew defines similar additional code points but with a different 
95
 * mapping.
96
 *
97
 * As far as an average Hebrew text with no diacritics is concerned, all four 
98
 * charsets are identical with respect to code points. Meaning that for the 
99
 * main Hebrew alphabet, all four map the same values to all 27 Hebrew letters 
100
 * (including final letters).
101
 *
102
 * The dominant difference between these charsets is their directionality.
103
 * "Visual" directionality means that the text is ordered as if the renderer is
104
 * not aware of a BIDI rendering algorithm. The renderer sees the text and 
105
 * draws it from left to right. The text itself when ordered naturally is read 
106
 * backwards. A buffer of Visual Hebrew generally looks like so:
107
 * "[last word of first line spelled backwards] [whole line ordered backwards
108
 * and spelled backwards] [first word of first line spelled backwards] 
109
 * [end of line] [last word of second line] ... etc' "
110
 * adding punctuation marks, numbers and English text to visual text is
111
 * naturally also "visual" and from left to right.
112
 * 
113
 * "Logical" directionality means the text is ordered "naturally" according to
114
 * the order it is read. It is the responsibility of the renderer to display 
115
 * the text from right to left. A BIDI algorithm is used to place general 
116
 * punctuation marks, numbers and English text in the text.
117
 *
118
 * Texts in x-mac-hebrew are almost impossible to find on the Internet. From 
119
 * what little evidence I could find, it seems that its general directionality
120
 * is Logical.
121
 *
122
 * To sum up all of the above, the Hebrew probing mechanism knows about two
123
 * charsets:
124
 * Visual Hebrew - "ISO-8859-8" - backwards text - Words and sentences are
125
 *    backwards while line order is natural. For charset recognition purposes
126
 *    the line order is unimportant (In fact, for this implementation, even 
127
 *    word order is unimportant).
128
 * Logical Hebrew - "windows-1255" - normal, naturally ordered text.
129
 *
130
 * "ISO-8859-8-I" is a subset of windows-1255 and doesn't need to be 
131
 *    specifically identified.
132
 * "x-mac-hebrew" is also identified as windows-1255. A text in x-mac-hebrew
133
 *    that contain special punctuation marks or diacritics is displayed with
134
 *    some unconverted characters showing as question marks. This problem might
135
 *    be corrected using another model prober for x-mac-hebrew. Due to the fact
136
 *    that x-mac-hebrew texts are so rare, writing another model prober isn't 
137
 *    worth the effort and performance hit.
138
 *
139
 * *** The Prober ***
140
 *
141
 * The prober is divided between two nsSBCharSetProbers and an nsHebrewProber,
142
 * all of which are managed, created, fed data, inquired and deleted by the
143
 * nsSBCSGroupProber. The two nsSBCharSetProbers identify that the text is in
144
 * fact some kind of Hebrew, Logical or Visual. The final decision about which
145
 * one is it is made by the nsHebrewProber by combining final-letter scores
146
 * with the scores of the two nsSBCharSetProbers to produce a final answer.
147
 *
148
 * The nsSBCSGroupProber is responsible for stripping the original text of HTML
149
 * tags, English characters, numbers, low-ASCII punctuation characters, spaces
150
 * and new lines. It reduces any sequence of such characters to a single space.
151
 * The buffer fed to each prober in the SBCS group prober is pure text in
152
 * high-ASCII.
153
 * The two nsSBCharSetProbers (model probers) share the same language model:
154
 * Win1255Model.
155
 * The first nsSBCharSetProber uses the model normally as any other
156
 * nsSBCharSetProber does, to recognize windows-1255, upon which this model was
157
 * built. The second nsSBCharSetProber is told to make the pair-of-letter
158
 * lookup in the language model backwards. This in practice exactly simulates
159
 * a visual Hebrew model using the windows-1255 logical Hebrew model.
160
 *
161
 * The nsHebrewProber is not using any language model. All it does is look for
162
 * final-letter evidence suggesting the text is either logical Hebrew or visual
163
 * Hebrew. Disjointed from the model probers, the results of the nsHebrewProber
164
 * alone are meaningless. nsHebrewProber always returns 0.00 as confidence
165
 * since it never identifies a charset by itself. Instead, the pointer to the
166
 * nsHebrewProber is passed to the model probers as a helper "Name Prober".
167
 * When the Group prober receives a positive identification from any prober,
168
 * it asks for the name of the charset identified. If the prober queried is a
169
 * Hebrew model prober, the model prober forwards the call to the
170
 * nsHebrewProber to make the final decision. In the nsHebrewProber, the
171
 * decision is made according to the final-letters scores maintained and Both
172
 * model probers scores. The answer is returned in the form of the name of the
173
 * charset identified, either "windows-1255" or "ISO-8859-8".
