Summary, we don't want folks to start to use charset=cp-1252
in mail, on Web pages, or similar. but we also want it clear
that "cp1252" is the same thing, e.g. the "old" Unicode page:

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

For some value of "we", where http://purl.net/net/cp/1252 is 
a special case with historical info about various "cp1252".

On my box I'd "chcp 1004" to get 1252, but we should ignore
that as irrelevant, I'd also "chcp 850" to get back to 858 ;-)
