Re: Update of charset windows-1252, draft 3

[Erik van der Poel <erikv@google.com>]

When Ned and Martin became the new charset reviewers, they said that
they would first process the backlog of registration requests, and
then clean up the registry. So I propose that we remove the paragraph
about ISO-8859-1-Windows-3.0-Latin-1 and
ISO-8859-1-Windows-3.1-Latin-1 from the windows-1252 update. We can
deal with those 2 charsets later, when we clean up the registry.

I don't think we should add cpwindows1252 or any other alias to the
windows-1252 registration either.
