RE: Update of charset windows-1252, draft 3

1) These "sort-of aliases" should really be deprecated somehow.

2) For some reason those entries list PCL "symbol set ids" 19U (and 9U).
	a) IIUC  19U  is now used for windows-1252 (effectively, AFAIC 
	    find there's no other PCL "symbol set id" for windows-1252).
	b) I don't know why the PCL "symbol set ids" are listed for
those,
	    while not for others, nor why the PCL designations are given
	    but not AFP (T1001252), PGL (314), or others.

I'd rather have cpwindows1252 (see
www.iana.org/assignments/ianacharset-mib)
explicitly listed as an alias than having (non-deprecated) the sort-of
aliases
"ISO-8859-1-Windows-3.0-Latin-1" and "ISO-8859-1-Windows-3.1-Latin-1".
