Martin: http://www.sun.com/developers/gadc/technicalpublications/whitepapers/solunic osuppt.pdf?redirect=false I didn't find this. I got redirected to http://developers.sun.com/techtopics/global/. Can you provide a better reference? Sorry I should have double checked before reposting .. that site seems to have expanded and the document is now at: http://developers.sun.com/dev/gadc/technicalpublications/whitepapers/solunicosuppt.pdf You will also note that Annex A.1 has different possible namings for the ISO 8859 series as well. The Unix world and (the then Open Software Foundation) had the codeset names already published before the IANA names / aliases were published. What you will see there is that legacy -- I am sure you will see these in the Linux world as well. We are not asking for these aliases -- though someone could raise the issue in the future. I understand there was a separate thread of discussions on igonoring dashes, spaces etc. in Labels from IANA registry (including the labels) ... however, the exact matching requirements of XML seems to override any such flexibility (except the case-ignore). I will be getting back on the other questions posted ... Best regards, Uma
