Sorry, resent because one of the addresses was incorrect. [dear IANA, please see below for requests for corrections/updates] At 17:35 00/01/20 +0100, Langer, Paul wrote: > Why is charset "ISO_8859-15" registered at IANA > without MIBenum and without the usual aliases? Hello Paul, Confirmed at http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/character-sets. Missing the MIBenum is a mistake that affects people doing MIBs and similar stuff. This should be corrected. Not having aliases would be a feature, if the only registered name were in the preferred form. Unfortunately, it's ISO_8859-15, and not ISO-8859-15. There is a similar problem for iso-8859-10: Name: latin6 [RFC1345,KXS2] MIBenum: 13 Source: ECMA registry Alias: iso-ir-157 Alias: l6 Alias: ISO_8859-10:1992 Alias: csISOLatin6 I'm forwarding this to the relevant list, please continue any necessary discussion there. I'm also copying IANA. I would like to ask IANA: - To add an appropriate MIBenum for ISO_8859-15 See ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2278.txt: >>>> 3.7. MIBenum Requirements Each registered charset MUST also be assigned a unique enumerated integer value. These "MIBenum" values are defined by and used in the Printer MIB [RFC-1759]. A MIBenum value for each charset will be assigned by IANA at the time of registration. <<<< - To add "Name: ISO-8859-15 (preferred MIME name)" for this entry (see e.g. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-charsets/1998JanMar/0037.html for discussions on this. - To add "Name: ISO-8859-10 (preferred MIME name)" for the entry with MIBenum 13.
