Larry, I'm not up on the details of the character set registry; please
make sure this says exactly what you think it should...
Interpreting from your message, I now have for draft 05, presuming it
happens:
19.8.1 Charset Registry
The following names should be added to the IANA character set registry
under the category "Preferred MIME name" and this section deleted.
"US-ASCII"
| "ISO-8859-1" | "ISO-8859-2" | "ISO-8859-3"
| "ISO-8859-4" | "ISO-8859-5" | "ISO-8859-6"
| "ISO-8859-7" | "ISO-8859-8" | "ISO-8859-9"
| "ISO-2022-JP" | "ISO-2022-JP-2" | "ISO-2022-KR"
| "SHIFT_JIS" | "EUC-KR" | "GB2312 BIG5" | "KOI8-R"
Please also add:
"EUC-JP" as the preferred MIME name for
"EXTENDED_UNIX_CODE_PACKED_FORMAT_FOR_JAPANESE"
"UCS-4" for ISO-10646
and add the following as preferred names (instead of the longer names):
"UTF-8" for "UNICODE-1-1-UTF-8"
"UTF-7" for "UNICODE-1-1-UTF-7"
"UCS-2" for "UNICODE-1-1"
