I agree with the assessment that "latin11", "l11", and "csISOLatin11"
are inappropriate aliases to be registering at this time. The "latin1"
type monikers should apply to the 8859 parts that are
considered oriented specifically to the Latin script. As printed
in the text of 8859-11 itself, these consist of:

ISO/IEC 8859-1   Latin alphabet No. 1
ISO/IEC 8859-2   Latin alphabet No. 2
ISO/IEC 8859-3   Latin alphabet No. 3
ISO/IEC 8859-4   Latin alphabet No. 4
ISO/IEC 8859-9   Latin alphabet No. 5
ISO/IEC 8859-10  Latin alphabet No. 6
ISO/IEC 8859-13  Latin alphabet No. 7
ISO/IEC 8859-14  Latin alphabet No. 8
ISO/IEC 8859-15  Latin alphabet No. 9

to which can also be added:

ISO/IEC 8859-16  Latin alphabet No. 10

Note the asynchrony in the series past Latin-4, because 8859-5 is
a *Cyrillic* alphabet, and so on.
