Registration of new charset

Charset name(s): UTF-7

Published specification(s): RFC 2152

I'd like to request that this registration go forward, now that the IANA 
charset registration procedure has been accepted by the IETF.

The rationale for this registration:

1. The current specification of UTF-7 has an error. The new RFC addresses 
this. The previous registration of "UNICODE-1-1-UTF-7" should be 
deprecated.

2. Products are already shipping and in use (e.g., Microsoft Outlook 
Express) that use the MIME charset identifier "UTF-7" (in expectation 
that it would be registered per the RFC, which was approved in May 1997). 
It should be formally registered.

For further information contact me (note: I'm not sure if I'm subscribed 
to the new ietf-charsets mailing list or not):
