There is still a TODO on the constructor to support Url's, I was thinking
 this would require using System.Net to download the stream and let
 StreamReader do the work.  StreamReader returns a UTF8 encoding by default
 if the
autodetection is on and nothing can be found.  I'd like to take care of that
TODO sooner then later, since we can test out System.Net more.
