Re: [whatwg/encoding] Confusion between Big5 and Big5-HKSCS encodings (#75)

cc @foolip 

Some thoughts:

1. Taking the previous comment at face value, it does seem inconsistent to avoid generating some HKSCS byte sequences while not avoiding others.
2. An implementation compliant with this spec shipped in Firefox 43 on 2015-12-15. We haven't received bug report about the encoder behavior. (In contrast, before shipping the merged Big5/Big5-HKSCS decode, we tried simply decoding content labeled as Big5-HKSCS using the old Big5 decoder, and we got a bug report about that.)
3. It seems that there are some code points (I haven't worked out which, yet) that the Encoding Standard has Big5 encoder mappings for but glibc does not have Big5-HKSCS encoder mappings for. (Not necessarily cause for action on the spec side--just an observation.)
