The problem would go away if the ISO would get their heads out of 
their a$$ and drop the C1 junk from the NEW 'TOUCHED UP" 8859s and 
put the CP125x codes there.
Then when you said you used 8859-21 you'd get CP-1252 and Windows 
would no longer need to lie (or tell the truth by admitting it is 
CP-1252).
