The reference IANA
# the value should either be a charset registered with the Internet
# Assigned Numbers Authority [IANA] or start with X-
which points to
Internet Assigned Numbers Authority. Character Sets.
See ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/character-sets.
should instead point to
RFC 2278 "IANA Charset Registration Procedures." N. Freed, J. Postel.
January 1998. (Also BCP0019) (Status: BEST CURRENT PRACTICE)
However, to actually give a reference, RFC 2046 defines the charset
parameter, while RFC 2278 merely describes the registration process
(and then points to the list of registered values.)
