Who created these new "best fit" tables ?  The old table...

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

...offers a Contact: cpxlate AT microsoft.com

The reason I ask is the line "CPINFO 1 0x3F 0x003F" in this table.  It's
how I implemented it for "codepage 1004" (an OS/2 alias for windows-1252).

<http://purl.net/net/cp/1252> (ICU) proposes 0x1A for windows-1252.

What's the source of the 698 WCTABLE mappings ?   The sorting of 0x20ac
could be some artefact of 0x20a0 (I've no idea what u+20A0 really is):
