First, JIS-X-0208 and JIS-X-0212 are not in IANA Charsets, moreover those correct names as spec are JIS X 0208 and JIS X 0212. Second, JIS_C6226-1983, JIS_X0212-1990, and EBCDICs are not ASCII compatible. So they are out of discouraged; mustn't use. Finally, Why ISO 2022 series is discouraged is not clear. Anyway, most of charsets defined RFC 1345 are not clear. Conversion table between Unicode is needed. -- NARUSE, Yui <naruse at airemix.jp>
