The author of the reddit comment says something about that:
Assange is only sought by Sweden for questioning and has
not been formally charged. While the British High Court
has decided that the current advancement of the Swedish
procedure is equivalent to being charged in the UK, I
consider this ruling to be an aberration; the common-law
steeped High Court failed to understand a finer point of
the civil-law influenced Swedish penal procedure.
This, directly from the Swedish High Court ruling, contradicts that:
"7. According to Swedish law, a formal decision to indict may not be
taken at the stage that the criminal process is currently at. Julian
Assange's case is currently at the stage of "preliminary investigation".
It will only be concluded when Julian Assange is surrendered to Sweden
and has been interrogated.
