Dear IANA, This is a request for a correction to the 'charset' registry you maintain at http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/character-sets. Please add Alias: ISO-8859-8-e (preferred MIME name) to the entry MIBenum 84, and please add Alias: ISO-8859-8-i (preferred MIME name) to the entry MIBenum 85. http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1556.txt, which is given as the source for these entries, actually contains the above labels, but not the labels currently listed in the charset registry. Also, these labels are explicitly mentioned in the HTML 4.0 spec (see http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/dirlang.html#bidi88598), and are in wide use. Currently, http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/character-sets contains: <<<< Name: ISO_8859-8:1988 [RFC1345,KXS2] MIBenum: 11 Source: ECMA registry Alias: iso-ir-138 Alias: ISO_8859-8 Alias: ISO-8859-8 (preferred MIME name) Alias: hebrew Alias: csISOLatinHebrew Name: ISO_8859-8-E [RFC1556,Nussbacher] MIBenum: 84 Source: RFC-1556 Alias: csISO88598E Name: ISO_8859-8-I [RFC1556,Nussbacher] MIBenum: 85 Source: RFC-1556 Alias: csISO88598I <<<< After the update, it should contain <<<< Name: ISO_8859-8:1988 [RFC1345,KXS2] MIBenum: 11 Source: ECMA registry Alias: iso-ir-138 Alias: ISO_8859-8 Alias: ISO-8859-8 (preferred MIME name) Alias: hebrew Alias: csISOLatinHebrew Name: ISO_8859-8-E [RFC1556,Nussbacher] MIBenum: 84 Source: RFC-1556 Alias: ISO-8859-8-e (preferred MIME name) Alias: csISO88598E Name: ISO_8859-8-I [RFC1556,Nussbacher] MIBenum: 85 Source: RFC-1556 Alias: ISO-8859-8-i (preferred MIME name) Alias: csISO88598I <<<< Many thanks in advance and kind regards, Martin.
