[Bug 26693] Edit for the 'Encoding false statement' thread

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=26693

--- Comment #14 from Richard Ishida <ishida@w3.org> ---

This is how I understand it (and without speaking on their behalf, I think it's
the view of the i18n WG too):

For those specifications, formats, protocols and applications that use and
conform to the Encoding spec, the Encoding spec restricts the range of legacy
encodings to a smaller set than that covered in the IANA registry. For the set
of encodings covered by the Encoding spec, the Encoding spec provides
information which is sufficiently detailed and complete that such conforming
specifications, formats, protocols and applications don't need to refer to the
IANA registry for more information.

Fixing the IANA registry itself by making changes to it is out of scope for and
therefore not addressed by the Encoding spec.
