Thanks @aphillips. I hope we can move forward with something basically in this form though without major objections.

> In particular, I find it misleading (even if factual) to say that ISO/IEC 8859-1 didn't provide mappings for the C0/C1 range and DEL.

I don't understand this point. I think it's pretty important to be clear about how the original standards didn't give mappings here, and I don't think it's misleading.

Well, except for all the ones that implement the Encoding Standard, including web browsers, right? Your statement seems pretty wrong in light of that.
