Re: [whatwg/webidl] Consider renaming ByteString to IsomorphicString (Issue #1471)

annevk left a comment (whatwg/webidl#1471)

I suspect when most people hear "latin1" they think of the encoding, not the Unicode block. And while it's not technically an encoding on the web, it's a label for the windows-1252 encoding as Domenic mentioned, which is very different from the actual encoding.

And the Unicode block only defines the non-ASCII part of what this string type can contain, so it's not entirely fitting either.

I'm going to close this for now, but I'm open to revisiting this if we have a much better idea at some point.
