Could you someone > tell me about the story of this RFC 1554? As you can see through the subject of the RFC, it is a multilingual extension of ISO-2022-JP. ISO-2022-JP-2 is a charset upper compatible to ISO-2022-JP. With ISO-2022-JP-2, you can use more script than ISO- 2022-JP with which you can express native representation of a lot more languages. In that sense, it is the second step for the internationalization. BTW, it is not clear to me what do you want to do? Do you want to have a charset name with which you can use JIS X 0212? Or, do you want to have a charset name with which you can use ASCII, JIS X 0201, JIS X 0208 and JIS X 0212, but nothing more than that? Or, do you want to extend ISO-2022-JP to include JIS X 0212 without changing its charset name? Or? Masataka Ohta --Boundary (ID uEbHHWxWEwCKT9wM3evJ5w)
