Maybe they didn't. Still, the case is remarkably consistent across WebKit and
Gecko. I quick look suggests that WebKit follows IANA casing and Gecko follows
IANA casing except for gbk and gb18030 (which are upper case in IANA & WebKit).
So maybe WebKit didn't copy Gecko but both WebKit and Gecko used IANA casing,
except Gecko somehow failed to do that for gbk and gb18030.
