RE: Registration of new charset [Amiga-1251] - revision 2

[Misha Wolf <Misha.Wolf@reuters.com>]

Michael,

Ira suggested in his mail that it would ve helpful if your registration 
stated that the arrangement of the Cyrillic code points is *not* the 
same as in ISO 8859-5.

Regards,
Misha

Hold on, why are we touching ISO 8859-5 ?

We have no relation to it. The Cyrillics there are shifted by 16.

We use ISO 8859-1 as basics and add Euro and numero signs to it.
Then we add the cyrillic part to it. Everything that is added replaces
the upper
half of the ISO table completely.

Please explain your point, I am lost.


Regards
