Re: charset list

I think the x- prefix just means it isn't standard :) My guess is that those
names must have been introduced by IE or Netscape before the actual
character encoding names Shift_JIS, JIS or EUC_JP got registered with the
IANA. Now they've just become some legacy alias.

Cheers,
Thierry.
