I see no problem in having cp1252 as an alias, esp. since
there is already a cp936 alias for a related (same originator
for same set of systems) encoding.

Why aren't all of the legacy MS defined encodings dealt
with in a single batch?

I really would like to see them being treated very similarly:
* similar preferred names/aliases
* similar set of other aliases
* similar mapping references
etc.
Anything else would be needlessly arbitrary and surprising.

But I see no reason why that "best fit" file, or mapping APIs,
would need any mention at all in a registration such as this.
