RE: Update of windows 1252

[Shawn Steele <Shawn.Steele@microsoft.com>]

I sent this a couple days ago but there's been no discussion :(.  I see that it made it to http://mail.apps.ietf.org/ietf/charsets/maillist.html , but the lack of a response makes me wonder if it got lost elsewhere somehow.

Thanks,
Shawn

Subject: Update of windows 1252

Sorry, this was the draft that I sent last fall.  We seemed to reach "rough consensus", but I didn't formally submit it.

Please register this update to windows-1252.  I will follow through with the other windows code pages shortly.

Thanks,
Shawn
