Re: registration of iso-8859-15: v1.1

Yes, the registry mentions the "cs" names, but the RFC does not require a "cs"
name:

ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2278.txt

Regarding "latin9", I guess we shouldn't blindly follow the previous
registrations, since the registration process was not very strict in the
beginning. There are far too many aliases.

Any chance of getting rid of some of them? :-)
