Jan Høydahl commented on TIKA-568:
----------------------------------
An intermediate step would perhaps be to add the getDistance() method, but mark
it as experimental. That way we can start using it but still be aware that the
actual value it returns may change in the future as the backend algorithm is
improved.

> LanguageIdentifier.isReasonablyCertain() hardcodes a threshold for language
> detection, which is fine, except applications should be allowed to decide
> what threshold suits them. For instance, how was 0.022 decided?
