We cannot change the name. Both the label "windows-1252" and the name "windows-1252" are exposed and used by the very large corpus of web content. I recommended you could use "web-1252" (though "bestfit-1252" might also be good choice) within Python, where you may not have such compatibility constraints. However, I don't understand the objection from Guy Steele. As far as I know Windows and Internet Explorer implement windows-1252 per the Encoding Standard. -- https://annevankesteren.nl/
