If there is a single name for a particular encoding in an ISO standard, then the person who registers that charset with IANA should use that name (and only that name). If there are 2 or more names for the charset in ISO standards or other places, then one of them should be chosen, and the others should go into the "Source:" field in the IANA registry or perhaps just in the document that explains that charset. I.e. *not* in the IANA charset aliases. Erik
