This is related to [I18N-ISSUE-371]
(http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/371)

The various tests linked from this page:

http://www.w3.org/International/tests/repository/encoding/indexes/results-indexes.en.php

... show errors and discrepancies in various legacy single byte encodings,
mainly in the handling of unassigned code units. A cursory investigation
suggests that the variations in these encodings stem mainly from differences in
whether browsers pass unmapped bytes through, generate the U+FFFD replacement
character, or generate a PUA code point. Please examine what the majority of
browsers are currently doing combined with what makes sense and adapt the
mapping tables appropriately.
