Hi,

in the meantime it was pointed out to me that we use ISO-8859-4 and 
ISO-8859-5 in two examples.

I personally do not feel that we need references for those, as long as 
they appear in the IANA registry 
(<http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets>). Speaking of which, 
this also applies to the character set name "unicode-1-1", which is used 
  in Section 14.2.

Feedback appreciated,

Julian
