Subject: names of ISO 8859 encodings
Date: Sat, 14 Dec 2024 01:23:09 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3678665.hdfAi7Kttb@nimes> (raw)
Hi,
Commit 3ed1de0ddccb42bae4151c7225d3fddeab04ff43 should better
be reverted, IMO. The ISO organization or their *standards* can
be renamed to whatever names; what matters here is what the
*encoding* is commonly referred to.
The *encoding* names are standardized by IANA:
https://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets/character-sets.xhtml
The first ISO 8859 encoding there has the name
ISO-8859-1
or
ISO_8859-1
and the first among these is the preferred MIME name. So, please,
in encoding names:
* revert the ISO -> ISO/IEC change,
* change the space after ISO to a dash/hyphen-minus.
Likewise (partially) for commit d5e5db91ece5955b21ae1aedc03ba1d56d3cf423.
Bruno
