Re: [whatwg/encoding] Allow other encodings (#207)

How "page loading" works is defined by HTML and it does go into your questions to some extent, though not as far as I would like. The Encoding Standard primarily concerns itself with mapping labels to encodings and byte sequences to scalar values (and vice versa).

Looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page_437#Character_set there's a good reason to never support that: https://encoding.spec.whatwg.org/#security-background.
