MediaTypeRegistry normalize query

Hey guys

I was doing some stuff related to MimeTypes.getRegisteredMimeType and 
within that method it calls

registry.normalize(type)

now when parsing HTML files these days Tika adds the charset attribute 
to the string.

I would have thought the normalize call was designed to remove this 
because tika-mimetypes.xml surely isn't supposed to contain charset 
matching tags?

Anyway if you do

Tika.detect(myurl)

followed by

MimeTypes.getRegisteredMimeType("text/html; charset=UTF-8");

It returns null because it doesn't strip the charset, without it its fine.

Bug/Feature/Misunderstanding?

Regards

Tom
