Marc-Andre Lemburg <m...@egenix.com> added the comment:

Please note that we can only add aliases if the encodings are indeed the same. 
Given that WhatWG has made changes to several standard encodings, this is 
especially important, since our codecs are mostly based on what the Unicode 
consortium defines as these encodings.

Tests for aliases can be minimal: just verify that the codecs subsystem detects 
them and results in the correct codec being used. There's no need to download 
any WhatWG specs for this.
