   I didn't find this. I got redirected to
   http://developers.sun.com/techtopics/global/. Can you provide
   a better reference?

Sorry I should have double checked before reposting .. that site seems to
have expanded and the document is now at:

You will also note that Annex A.1 has different possible namings for the
ISO 8859 series as well.  The Unix world and (the then Open Software
Foundation) had the codeset names already published before the IANA names /
aliases were published.  What you will see there is that legacy -- I am
sure you will see these in the Linux world as well.

We are not asking for these aliases -- though someone could raise the issue
in the future.  I understand there was a separate thread of discussions on
igonoring dashes, spaces etc. in Labels from IANA registry (including the
labels) ... however, the exact matching requirements of XML seems to
override any such flexibility (except the case-ignore).

I will be getting back on the other questions posted ...   Best regards,
Uma
