[Alain] :
I thought about it too. You may be right, an alias would perhaps mislead
people less. By chance Latin 1 was part 1 of the ISO/IEC 8859 series... We
do not have this privilege with latin 9 and that might be confusing indeed.

I'm not alone to make this recommendation then but I believe it might be
better too, although some other people might prefer only "Latin 9" then as
a name... So I don't know. Is there a harm to have one alias for MIME usage?

Why were aliases created in the first place? Were there problems
encountered with those as I suspect (the more it is complex, the more it is
error-prone)?
