The requester claiming to speak for MS didn't bother to address
the questions about his registrations, e.g. discrepancies of
his 1252 with the cp-1252 listed in

http://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/WINDOWS/CP1252.TXT

The latter was apparently supplied by another person claiming
to speak for MS.  Either 0x81, 0x8D, 0x8F, 0x90, and 0x9D are
mapped one to one, u+0081 etc., or they are not.  As long as 
that's not absolutely clear and also reflected in the Unicode
mappings modifying the IANA registry about 1252 makes no sense.
