Re: Registration of new charset csPTCP154

[Harald Tveit Alvestrand <harald@alvestrand.no>]

(sorry for losing track and responding late)
one solution that has been applied to provide stable references is to take 
the data and publish it as an RFC - see RFC 2319, for instance.

it's relatively easy, but takes some time.

Or one could simply include the equivalence table in the registration.
