I assume you mean lid and lidFE are not 0x404 or 0x804.

Nice finding.

Yes, I agree with the hack you propose.
You should feel free to implement it and post a patch :)
Another option: if current locale is "zh", we add 2 more word file types in
File->Open dialog, one is ".doc in Big5", another is ".doc in GB2312" so
unlucky user will be able to import it from no more than 3 attempts. Same for
other CJK languages (if no meaningful LID is saved in the file).
What do you think about [implementing :)] this?
