Hello, developers! http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets lists ISO-8859-1 as the preferred MIME name:
Name: ISO_8859-1:1987 [RFC1345,KXS2] MIBenum: 4 Source: ECMA registry Alias: iso-ir-100 Alias: ISO_8859-1 Alias: ISO-8859-1 (preferred MIME name) Alias: latin1 Alias: l1 Alias: IBM819 Alias: CP819 Alias: csISOLatin1 Maybe s/ISO 8859/ISO-8859/g through out our docs? BTW (I'm coming from Java development) Java runtime used to recognize only proprietary Java names for encodings, like ISO8859_1, but at least for several years already they started accepting the IANA preferred character names as aliases to their internal names. Moreover the IANA character names have been said to be the preferred way of naming character sets at lest in the javax.server.* interfaces. So people coming from Java background probably already have their hands hard-coded to use the preferred MIME names and experience some surprise seeing ISO 8859-1, which seems a bit Perl-proprietary, does not it ;-) ? - Anton
