Re: Register EBCDIC Character Set "OSD_EBCDIC_DF04_1"

[Martin Duerst <duerst@w3.org>]

The three charsets just submitted seem to be different
(otherwise there wouldn't be three separate submissions),
but the introductory text gives no indication of what
the specifics of each of these registrations are, or
how they differ. I suggest that the registration proposals
be updated to give more details to allow readers to
understand what the specifics of each encoding are
without having to check all the details in the encoding
tables.

Regards,     Martin.

Register EBCDIC Character Set "OSD_EBCDIC_DF04_1"

This document provides information about character encoding OSD_EBCDIC_DF04_1
(Fujitsu-Siemens standard mainframe EBCDIC encoding, which is widely spread in
Europe) which is a de-facto standard in Europe for information interchange on
BS2000 mainframe systems of Fujitsu-Siemens Computer.

The proposed character set "OSD_EBCDIC_DF04_1" is currently used by a large 
user
community using BS2000 mainframe systems.

Originally, specification of proposed standard "OSD_EBCDIC_DF04_1" was
officially adopted by the BS2000 systems and is documented in the Fujitsu-
Siemens Manual of the product XHCS
http://manuals.fujitsu-siemens.com/servers/bs2_man/man_us/dcam/v14_0/xhcs.pdf
(page 136f).

OSD_EBCDIC_DF04_1 is developed as a single byte encoding for all contemporary
characters.
