The three charsets just submitted seem to be different (otherwise there wouldn't be three separate submissions), but the introductory text gives no indication of what the specifics of each of these registrations are, or how they differ. I suggest that the registration proposals be updated to give more details to allow readers to understand what the specifics of each encoding are without having to check all the details in the encoding tables.

The proposed character set "OSD_EBCDIC_DF04_1" is currently used by a large user community using BS2000 mainframe systems. Originally, specification of proposed standard "OSD_EBCDIC_DF04_1" was officially adopted by the BS2000 systems and is documented in the Fujitsu- Siemens Manual of the product XHCS http://manuals.fujitsu-siemens.com/servers/bs2_man/man_us/dcam/v14_0/xhcs.pdf (page 136f). OSD_EBCDIC_DF04_1 is developed as a single byte encoding for all contemporary characters.
