These Mac OS X could not be used by Delphi directly in any case because some of the values would not fit into 2 bytes (constants for all the Unicode encodings fall into this category apparently), so I guess that their choice is more or less clear, especially if Mac OS X already provides direct support for mapping between Windows codepage numbers and the internal constants out of the box...
