    I just added a new file that maps IANA 'charset' parameters
    to iconv parameters. The special 'windows-xxxx' code is gone.
    I also added a very thorough (but fast) check of UTF-8 byte
    patterns. See:
    http://cvs.w3.org/Team/validator/httpd/cgi-bin/check.diff?r1=1.116&r2=1.117&

    I'm thinking about what to do with 'unknown'. Throwing it
    out altogether would be best, but maybe this would create
    too much opposition. Anyway, I don't want pages with
    an 'unknown' charset to get "Congratulations!".
    
    Regards,   Martin.
