I was wondering if it is possible to register a charset alias. HTML5 currently defines three,

  x-sjis       windows-31J
  windows-932  windows-31J
  x-x-big5     Big5

and it would be nice if these could instead be in the official registry.

The reason HTML5 has these is that user agents have long implemented these for compatibility with Web sites.
