Windows 1252 Mapping Tables (was: Servlet question

Hi,

I am cross-posting this on both www-international@w3.org and
unicore@unicode.org, though the question is actually aimed more at the
unicorrigibles.

Per the thread that follows, the Unicode mapping tables for Windows 1252
don't square totally with the codepoint coverage in Windows 1252, as seen in
Windows 2000.  Can someone who is close to this issue answer whether this
is, in fact, the case?  If it is, are there any plans to square the Unicode
mapping tables with the current Windows 1252 code page?

It is what a tool run on Windows 2000 really saw in windows-1252 as opposed
to a published table.
