I know I should have answered earlier. The standard charsets are chosen according to Sun's specification: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/nio/charset/Charset.html
There is a set of standard charsets which must be available. For everything else we just made available what we had and what others requested (I remember that certain asian charsets where requested). Regards Robert
