That's what i asked IBM, too. I first thought it was a typo.

But they pointed me to a RFC (sorry, can't find the number now) and 
iso_8859-1 is one of a number of valid aliases for iso-8859-1. Someone in 
this mailing list already agreed that it's valid.

The effort to change all existing pages to not use the default header and 
create an individual header with iso-8859-1 is definitely way to much work, 
especially as no browser seems   to have a problem with it.

So i would be really very happy when the validator would recognize 
iso_8859-1 as valid!
